Kettenwagen diorama- 20mm Flak painting started.

Started painting the Flak gun.
Dark Yellow, with Flat Brown stripes. Gun, and barrel in gun metal.
I also applied the filters- white, yellow, and brown.
The whole gun has been washed in brown.

2 cm Flak 38 mit Sd.Ah.51- construction complete

All the rivets were raplaced by excellent Archer Fine Transfers rivets.
The mesh on the spent shell basket is from my wifes cosmetics corner- she kept some aromatic flowers in it for scent.
The whole gun breaks down into few subassemblies for easier painting.

2 cm Flak 38 mit Sd.Ah.51 shields, and spent shell basket

I have reworked the mount for the gunner shield a little, and removed all the rivets from the shields- the rivets were in the wrong places.
Spent shell basket was soldered using 0,71 dia wire.
The basket will be wraped with some nylon mesh.


One more shield- the front one to solder, and the gun is ready.

2 cm Flak 38 mit Sd.Ah.51- cont.

Work continues on the 20mm Flak gun.
Most of the gun is in place now.
I have to solder the shields to finish the build.
