I second that. No reason to use the Tristar flak on this build.

Thanks everyone! I might add a spare barrel to the very simple Flak 38, but that'll be all.

Right now I'm busy with the ammo trailer, it looked a lot less horrible before I started it :lol: I'll post some photos once I've progressed enough to show anything... :lol:

So, I managed to put together one of the ammo trailers sold by Italeri specifically for their 10/4 and 10/5 kits.

And everything together:

I'm not exactly sure it's supposed to sit slanted like this.....? :?

Nice trailer Philipp

Does seem to be sitting a little off level?

Perhaps Google might offer a solution?

Flak trailer

Perhaps it might ride closer to level without the top bar on the trailer arm?

Thank you Steve. I think I see the problem now...

Time to do some scratchbuilding :roll:

I also found this photo, looks like the trailer didn't ride fully level anyways.

Ahh!

A heated screwdriver then for little plastic sculpting.

Shouldn't be too difficult to bend it to match and level it up to almost horizontal.

Nice one Philipp

A long overdue update, basic construction shold be finished now.

I noticed indicator poles on a lot of these things, but they are missing from the kit. A bit of Evergreen plastic rod fixed that. I made the tarp on the windscreen with the ancient glue-soaked tissue method. And I fixed the trailer coupling...by brutally bending it in shape :lol:

Figure from the Kugelblitz for scale, not sure yet what I'm going to add to this one...I'm also not sure if I should go with a desert scheme or Panzer grey :?:
