Hi all this will be my next build. I built one a while ago and it seems as though the kit has been updated slightly I'll post some sprue shots later.

Hi all
Here's the first part of my 88 flak 36. I have decided to build the gun in the anti tank role.
The kit is going together quite well but there's some bad mould seams and sink marks that had to be sorted and I have fabricated a few bits that were missing

I'm sure I built this (badly!) in my youth! Perhaps this is one of those old Tamiya moulds that's not stood the test of time.

Looking forward to seeing more of this one Col

Hi guys here's the latest update on this build. I have to say this one has been a bit of a nightmare a lot of very thick mould lines and badly fitting parts I suppose it should be expected given the age of the kit.

Well guys I have applied tamiya NATO green in a random pattern as I cannot seem to find any uniform pattern that was applied to the 88. Tamiyas normally excellent instructions are no help either
