All the pain and tedium of sticking millions of little dots for the camouflage pattern has paid off very nicely. It is certainly eye catching.

I do like Chernobyl based models/dioramas. If you are interested in the why's, how's and the blame game of Chernobyl, I highly recommend this YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thatchernobylguy2915/videos Rather an eye opener to the lies and misconceptions of the popular narrative of the event.

It has got a case of the German measles.

I feel your pain, well kind of. I cheated with my "what if" and used adhesive vinyl in my Cricut. Saved me A LOT of pain. Not sure if I will do the same pattern for the "what if" flak panzer, the jury as they say is still out. Looking forward to seeing your completed paint scheme.

Solid progress Keith. Tracks and running gear I find to be the most tedious and time consuming part of an armour build. And the most unpleasant.
-
Any progress at the moment is a milestone. Oil and grease. Thank you for looking.

Thanks Keith. It is an effort of utter frustration involving LOTS of profanities, but, I'm pressing on. Deadlines and all.
-
The one armed weathering continues. Thank you for looking.

One armed mud technique employed. Least I know if I ever lose an arm, I can still sort of build models. Thank you for looking.

Well stuff me, so they did. Learned something new, or remembered something long forgotten. Been a VERY long time since I've read volume.

Did I miss a memo?

Vierling guns were mounted upside down. The flak Vierling 38 is a classic and easy example. Same gun, just upside down on the opposite side.

The beauty of a WHIF, none of that matters. For instance, it was planned to use the gerät 58 flak cannon which is a left side feeding right side ejecting cannon, wouldn't work in the planned configuration, but maybe the Germans decided lets go for a Bofors gun style feed and eject system on this prototype weapon that only three of which were ever build. Long live the WHIF!

Based on your test sample, if it doesn't work for your model you could try making colour blind vision test cards with it, earn back the coin spent. That aside, very much looking forward to the paint work. Question: Where did you purchase said Archimedes screw punch from?

Sorry for the lack of updates, dealing with an injury to one of my arms that has rendered it pretty much useless for the last two weeks. Tracks completed and I'm picking away at the weathering of the lower hull. Thank you for looking.
