37mm Flakpanzer IV 'Ostwind' FINISHED!!!

Here are the pictures of the recently finished 1/72 scale Hasegawa 'Ostwind'.

For such a small model it went together pretty well, even the much hated 'rubber' tracks were as big a problem as feared.

The camo and markings are fictional, I really doubt if any of the Ostwinds had disc camo on them.

The camouflage pattern was airbrushed freehanded including the disc camo on the turret, I wanted to see if the disc scheme could be airbrushed.
In 1/72 scale it was not a great success but I feel in 1/35 scale it could be done.

Lets see the P-51's and P-47's try and attack my airfield now! They will pay a price if they do. :laugh:

Thanks Ryan and Mike!

Ryan,
Perfect weather here right now, this is somewhat rare for this time of year to have three or more days of sunlight. Nice weather usually does not happen here until the first week in July.
