1 72 scale T34 german flakpanzer dio.

[bazers]

Hi guys. a T 34 conversion to a german flakpanzer ,after seeing photos of a field modification that was used with schwere panzerjager abteilung 653 unit. I decided to build one using a
T 34 kit and a 2 cm flakvierling 38 kit with metal barrels, I had to make moulds and cast all the amo boxes as I only had one resin box.
The turret was scratch built using photos from web photos and the t 34 kit for dimensions.
I wanted another element to the dio so added crew also a guy walking by with a bike( not a very good model) pointing and asking where the F... they got it from.
Just went on line today and saw U M have made a copy of one !



Have also added a few not very good pics of build

Nice scratchbuilding on the turret. If UM makes a model of this one, then you were probably the one who took the easy option, compared to those who buy that kit …

You've done a great job , the turrett is top class, and couldn't have been easy .

That turret looks a b*tch to build. I'd say you earned your pay! Well done.
