4509davidb Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hi All, Here is the Tristar (now hobby Boss) Flakpanzer 38(t). This is a pretty challenging kit with a full interior, engine and gearbox none of which can be really seen when completed unless you have all the hatches open which spoils the lines somewhat. The 20mm cannon is very intricate and I would challenge anyone to get it 100% right first time round although most people could make a better job of the PE spent shell cage than I've done. Kit tracks are supposed to be workable but just kept snapping so I relented and bought Friuls. Almost all of these were lost in Normandy and made it clear to the Germans that one 20mm cannon was not up to the job of taking down Jabos. Usual C&C welcomed Thanks David 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Very well built & finished. That’s got to be a tiddler. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoat2966 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Nice one......love the whole look......weathering is great.....I like the shell catching mesh, I know that isn't easy to fold up....having tried on a Dragon 20mm..... I have this by Dragon. Just deciding on the PE set's that go with it......maybe next year I'll give it a go. Cheers Redcoat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4509davidb Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Thanks for you comments - I've read the Dragon kit is a bit easier to go together but maybe not just as detailed in some areas. If I was to do it again I would close up the side panels to make it look a bit meaner I think. would be interested to see how the Dragon kit turns out. cheers David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
