The Kradmantel Almost Finished ....



Photoshopped in front of a Normandy meadow



Italian Style Camo Trousers to add some difference in hue.





By using some Russian Uniform Green I added some warmth to the greens of the coat .

88 Flak PE Gun Shield

By finishing the Flak shield, the work on the gun came to an end.

It's a photo-etched Aber replacement part.





This is what the Flak looks like, kind of snapped together, I wanted to keep the sub-assemblies to ease the paint job.





On a wooden base with an Alpine Miniatures 'German Officer' who happened to pass by.




The background is one of my more artistic creations !

Behelfslafette and more work on the Flak

Almost finished the Flak 88. I think the Behelfslafettte looks really ugly when you compare it to the gun itself ! Something Sci - Fi: a spaceship maybe ? Not the finest example of German WW2 engineering !
