I started doing this little project but have a snag,

DSC_0576inst.jpg


that's about the exact eye view I have of the reverse page of the instructions.

Has anyone built/got or know where I could get a clearer instruction page for this kit?

Follow up to my post, Verlinden emailed me the instruction sheet - but it was the reverse page 1!!!

not to worry, Old Dog (Gary) put up a nice big pic of the faded out page so I'm in business again
 
He sure is MP! one of the Best. (y)

Again Thanks to Gary (Old Dog) who posted up a crystal clear page I was able to complete this tricky little kit.

next up detail painting then wash and weathering and wear and tear.
 
Did some detailing last night, barrel and wear an tear, it's lightly applied as I didn't want to bend that oh so soft brass Pe!

I may do some more but here is the Flak 38 as is is now, borrowed some crew from the Flakverling for a sense of scale

Who are you and what did you do to Phil. There is too much weathering on this one to be Phil :yipee :pp

Just joking mate looks great! :ro:
 
Excellent work, Phil! Nice little scene and paintwork. You weathered it, I thought I was using my imagination! :D (y)
 
Thankyou all! :D actually I was thinking it didn't have enough weathering for this sort of equipment!!!!!!!!! and was considering adding more


Made a couple of trees to try and give the scene a little more depth and added some more wall, I know this had a 360 degree turn but the trees work I think

The trees are held up by clothes-pegs ATM, I just photo shopped them out for a better feel to the effect.

I could of made an error with the gunners armor plate, I think it should be angled the same as the barrel? not straight as I have attached it.

When I'm happy with the wall I'll fix I will add sme grass to it to blend it in instead of having it perfectly mowed :D
and some rubble, couple of drums, boxes etc as I add things from time to time

Nice but move out those brick ruins. :v my opinion
Maybe some sand bags will be better ;)

P.

PS: Maybe give figs. any shades(wash-dark green or mix green dark black brown) and high lights(dry brush-light green), if figs. aren't done I shut my mouth :Hiay
