CTA Entry - Bagge - 88mm Flak 36/37 Tamiya

[Bagge]

Here is some pics of todays adventure, it's been ups and downs but i managed to make it look somewhat ok.

Before repainting of the shield and crusiform

And after

Tried a little with the sWS :hmmm

Camo for the shield

And the cable reel, not easy to find info on how connections and cables look like but i will try to come up with something :coolio

That's it for this day, one week working and then 2 weeks vacation........

Even if it is old kit it still looks good.

Found some time to work on the 88 today, one boggie is primed and painted dark yellow, the other boggie is almost finnished, just the cable reels left to do and then painting

Ok time to get something done to this one now!
Added some covers made from cleaning tissue coloured with coffe and soaked in dilluted whiteglue.

Also worked on the dials, not so happy with it but it will have to do, still waiting for the crystal clear to dry.

Also added some killmarks to the shield (sorry for the bad pic)

Still need some details painted and shipped and then the second boggie to be done.....

So nice to see all the positive respons! when you feel it's not really going the way you want it, you need motivation to pull through, thanks again guys

Did some chipping and a wash to beat up this hardened warrior a bit :fencing

Used Mig brown wash, i'm still trying out this technique so it's not really how i wanted it but it's coming :huh:

Ok so i started on this again now when i managed to finnish my road warrior :coolio
Did some drybrushing in different colours on the base and boggie and after that i do some small scratching with a fine brush, this will be a well used gun, not sure they ever looked this worn down but that's the look i go for :geek

I painted the tyres with vallejo dark rubber, tried to sand them down a little but the soft plastic/rubber was just messed up so i paint them instead, it looks ok.

The Sws will pull this 88 when it's ready
