Airfield Defence somewhere in Germany 1943


Recommended Posts

This is the first diorama I've made with more scenics than a grass mat!  It contains the Dragon 1/35th sd.kfz.7/1 Flakvierling 38 2cm with the Italeri ammo trailers.  The crew is also Dragon but for a different version of the gun so the gunner was modified to nearly fit!

Excellent job on the models and the diorama. Particularly amazing if this is your first dio.

Yes, the only thing I'd done before this was to place a model on grass matting.

Great work, but, "were German uniforms semi-gloss?" said he, riding his hobby horse off into another "Pineapple Express."

No and in fact on the model they are finished with matt varnish but in the photo's for some reason they appear much more gloss!  Their helmets and leather bits are semi gloss and the upper parts of their boots are gloss.  I don't have an explanation as to why the uniforms appear semi-gloss.
