Ozzy Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 thought I’d share this with you all as I’ve not been very active up this neck of the woods for a while. Built back in February , it’s part of a larger project with a Trumpeter Artillery Tractor and a Plus model’s bridge. It’s all OOB with nothing added. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Nice work Ozzy. It looks really good (Good to see you back here again. It's been a bit sparse just lately). John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartH Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Nice job. I particularly like the grubby and authentic feel to this model 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilspen Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Nice finish and well crewed. How did you find the build? I have been wondering about one of these for a while, but recall reading that it was more confusing to build than typical Dragon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive built the kit before a number of years ago, I found the kit on an online auction site for a very good price. I might be immune to Dragons confusing instructions? as I’ve built a number of their kits over the years. I found it went together really well and the instructions weren’t that bad, re jigged the figures to the position on the Gun. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planes123 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Great model. Figures look impeccable. What paints did use and how they applied. Thanks T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hi Ozzy, Good to see this close up. You've achieved a nice, realisticm dirty look, given the weather and circumstances, and I particularly like the uniform camo. I'm kind of itching to make my Tamiya 88 and sd.kfz 7 now. But, no, no, no! I must NOT! Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m particularly pleased with how the uniforms turned out and the difference the miss matched uniforms bring the build to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I missed this when it was posted. Very nice indeed Oz. Online I have seen (but can't find now) a photo of a Flak 88 on a bridge firing across the river, hastily set up as your build; was something similar your inspiration for your projected diorama? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave, I will have another look, I’ve seen a few on documentaries with the wheels off but not firing. I want to portray the bunny sense of urgency of getting into action. 20 hours ago, noelh said: That looks great. Cheers Noelh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
