Good day everyone!
Last January I've uploaded some photos of a fortified position I made (Post: Bunker at 11.00 o'clock, sir!!!), which was ''hosting'' a famous gun of WW2 - 8.8 cm. Flak AA gun.
This is an Italeri fast-build model (#7512), and the type is Flak 37. Though the box illustration represents a gun located in Africa during 1942 campaign, I decided to paint it in my usual Dunkelgelb / Field gray, late-war colours.
The model is consisted of 17 parts and comes together very easily.
For someone who lacks of: time, patience, money and modeller's ambition for getting the most realistic model ever, I think it suits the case quite adequately! ;-)
I hope you like it!
Comments and critics are more than welcome!!

Great paintjob on the good old 8.8!And the Minis are wonderful painted,too! I didn´t like it but I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteNice piece of kit, good paintjob my friend.
ReplyDeleteLovely job. Nice weathering and painting. Well done Thanos.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really fine looking gun. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI've had a similar experience with an Italeri Puma armored car I'm working on -- the kit came together very easily.
Very good job on the gun! I like the sandbags as well did you buy them or make them yourself?
ReplyDeleteReally nice agapite... The weathering is spot on!
ReplyDeleteDimitri
Fantastic work !!! Very well painting ! Compliments Thanos
ReplyDelete8.8cm my favorite item in WWII, really nice painting like always, congratullations!!!
ReplyDeleteI've got the same question as Dan, do you get the sandbags in the kit or were they from somewhere else?
ReplyDeleteThank you guys for all the support! :-)
ReplyDelete@Dan + Easternfunker: The sandbags are made by me, by using some (a lot actually) green stuff. It was rather easy to make them, I am sure that you guys, can make them in 'no' time! :-)

Great paint job! I like a lot the weathering too.
ReplyDeleteWell done with the 88, nice painting. You are right about sandbags, pretty easy to make, I use Miliput for mine. Keep up the good work,- I have seen this kit in a local model shop and wondered how it would look.
ReplyDeleteWell done Thanos, nicely weathered the whole kit looks spot on mate
ReplyDeleteGreat looking model. Very convincing weathering, really looks like it's been lugged around most of Europe! Crew are looking good too.
ReplyDeleteI can only support all the above mentioned comments! Well done T.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Why dont you use Das modelling clay for your sand bags much cheaper.
