Fantastic build, well done!
I have the same kit in my stash...must get around to building it sometime!
i do have an original magazine for the full size gun as part of my collection....all I need now is the rest of the gun to make it complete!

That would be an impressive gun to have in a collection for sure, the magazine must be a fair size!

If you ever get around to building your model i would love to see your completed build. Always interesting to see how different people decide to paint/weather the same model.

Absolutely great !!
Even the magazines for the Flak do apear authentically 'used'.

Best regards.

I am afraid Darren that my modelling skills would not match your own! I used to build models mainly aircraft when I was a lad and came back to it in my twenties, this time painting them played a bigger part! Fell away again and am now looking at making some sort of return to it again. As I say I have amassed a few over the years and they shall get built one day.....I hope!
As for the magazine, yeah, it is heavy! And that's empty too....twenty rounds of 20 mm x 139B wouldn't help.

Wow, I wish I had your level of skill to build this.

Great model!
I just think, the gun sight is of the the Schwebekreisvisier type, and so the inner circle with the reticle should be placed horizontally, it also lacks the pendulum on the right hand side.
