Okay then,found some time to do some work on this one.
Got to say that the instruction sheet from ACE is a bit confusing,I doubted where to place some parts,
so I thought it was better to pull out an old 1:35 scale model,just to see the correct place of the parts.
Added some wire to certain points as well.
The ACE kit provides the Sonderanhänger 51.It's a trailer used to transport the FLAK 38,but can also be used to transport a big searchlight or container for ammo and all kind of goodies.
Added some wire grips here as well.
Hope to see you soon folks.
Greetings,Ron.

ReconRon's FLAK 38 in 1:48 scale...black 'n grey
Now then,after a primer coat the tiny FLAK 38 and trailer got a coat of Tam Semi Gloss Black.
And after that Tam German Grey followed by with White lightened G Grey.
The contrast doesn't really show in the pics however.
Next, first will be a blue Enamel filter on selected spots before I will return to the detail painting,most of this tiny one is detail painting in my eyes.
Chips,washes and pigments will follow after that.
See ya then.

Here you go Tom:
The kit has it's flaws,lacking details like grabhandles so I added some from wire.
And some stuff on the instruction sheet is a bit confusing.Having said that,I do enjoy this ACE kit.
Greetings,Ron.
