The final steps for a crazy build.











now...that I finished the building of this piece of madness, I hope to start to paint it next weekend, and end it before December

...of course any suggestions and comments are welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Best regards.

Absolutely magnificent. True artistry. Well done.

Sitting in that chair must have been a straight line to a "God Complex".

Thanks

Impressive indeed! Good of you that you don't state more than before December! Therefore you're not promisin' to get it done this year or the next but it can means December 2014...

hehehe...

Thanks a lot for looking, and of course for your words about the model.

It will be finished before end of year ( hope this year ), if I don´t loose my mind before, thinking how to paint it.

Thanks guys, it´s great to know that you liked it!!!!

Cheers!

Awesome Kawalsky. It looks like a great kit too. I bought Tamiya's Flak 36 last year...the new one and it's nowhere near as good as your Dragon kit... of course. Somehow, after seeing this, I doubt I'll ever build it. Thanks for the pics mate...they're fantastic.
Peace.

Geek, don´t worry, Tamiya´s Flak has less parts (15 or 16 less), than DML Flak, then go for it friend.

I hope the Zone will help me to paint it rigth!!.

Thanks for looking friends.

cheers.

For me, the more parts the better. Tamiya's kit doesn't include the transport bogies (the new release doesn't...the old one did include them). The kit is supposed to depict a Luftwaffe gun in DAK service. The figures are a mixture of guys wearing shorts and shirts and guys in warmer clothing. The thing I like best about the Tamiya kit (and the main reason I bought it) was for the Zündapp motorcycle included. The Dragon kit...even just looking at these pics, looks like a far better representation of this weapon.
I read accounts of Allied servicemen capturing these guns but such was their sophistication, they were unable to use them.
Peace.
