Work has prematurely stalled on the Dragon Sd.Kfz 7 so I've moved onto the base and the vehicle it was towing. Dragon inexplicably do not provide instrument
decals for the majority of their 8T kits, and now Archer are no longer around it has taken some time to find an alternative.. Although not specific to the Dragon kit I eventually tracked down a set from Alliance Model Works, so whilst I wait for a few sets to arrive from the tuther side of the globe I started work on the Flak 36/37 it was towing.

A bit of Google map detective work and we can view the same spot today.
This old
Tamiya Flak 36/37 is a bit long in the tooth but as it was already built, it fitted the bill perfectly.
