    German 3.7cm Flak 37 Anti-Aircraft gun w/crew

    Now for something completely different,, well for me anyway.

    I'm building this as a practice ready for my big build 88mm next year.

    I'll be trying some weathering techniques as I go and hopefully gain some insight into armour type subjects.

    Advice and comments welcome as always.

      Blutak and tape are what I use to keep hold of the little buggers

            This should be an interesting build Adrian. Although I wonder if Polux meant a camouflage net?

              Haha, you see why I don't do these sort of builds, I haven't a clue. Now you point it out though it makes more sense

                      That's for sure, only ever done one armour which was a Patton tank, or if you watch any 60's and 70's war films you may know it as a german tank, lol.

                      I have a Dragon 88mm flak with the metal barrel and a Trumpeter 12T SdKfz.8 Schwerer Zugkraftwagon ( copied from box as to me is a big truck ) I had planned to do this earlier in the year but looks like next years list now

                      So this is my practice I'm hoping to make it look at least realistic

                        I got some old square mesh lace you might be able to use for a camouflage net. I could drop some into your shop next Saturday if you're interested.

                          That's really kind of you, but I haven't been at work for 3 months now and I'm not sure when I'll be returning

                              Gauze bandage works very well in 1/35 for camo nets.
