Hey Tony, I just picked one of these up. What a nice kit! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

What's the hold up Adam???

The thread is already started so pop the top and dig in.

I would love to jump on the wagon and start working on this with you! Unfortunately I just don't have as much time to dedicate to building as I'd like. New house, pregnant wife, very very busy at work. I'm lucky if I get 8 solid build hours a week. But, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what you do with the kit!

[TRM]

Fine line there ey Adam?!! LOL!! Duel one with Tony or finish the BTR!!! Stick with the Russian beast, besides I doubt the G-10 came in the mail yet!! LOL!!You will need to dig into it....you did see the parts shot Tony posted!! NICE!!!

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

Yep Carl plastic barrel but not in halves.

Adam you're welcome to jump in anytime you know. The gun looks like it's going to be more of a build than the tank part,so far it's been easy.

Step #1---#5






Great parts fit,easy clean up.
Just that little bit of bench time wore me out.

Oh well what don't kill ya makes you stronger

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

Times is a slippin away

Thanks for dropping by my friend

Tony, you are dead on about the Gun being the build. I built the same gun but on the trailers. I will say this, it is a FUN build. or at least I thought so.

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

The more meat on the bone the better I like it Adam.

Looking good Tony .
Hey Tony it sounds like the gun barrel is slide molded then . One more question about it , is there rifling ? I've gotten spoiled on having that detail provided .

Take care of yourself my friend !

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

I'll check in the morning Carl

Tony lee

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

The barrel has rifling Carl 8-)in fact there are two barrels in the kit,what the other one is for will need investigating.

Tony lee

[adampolo13-Email Not Valid]

if my memory serves me right, which it may not be due to serious lack of sleep, the 88 i built on the trailers didn't have riffling. so, bronco may have updated the gun portion of the kit with a better barrel.

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

Onward Folks

I skipped step six for now,mostly PE tool brackets and tools.
Step #7,8,9 and 10 starts you building the gun. easy enough construction but the breech gets real busy.
The barrel is a three piece affair and getting all three to line up straight takes time.











Adam I checked the other barrel and it has rifling also but has a different length overall???

Hope to see you again tomorrow

Tony thanks for looking ! This one is sounding like a kit that I must have . Been looking at it as it was . So you know this will be an interesting build I will follow .
Maybe it has the barrels for the Flak 41 and Flak 37 ?

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

That maybe but if it's for a 37 you're going to be short a bunch of parts
Gun carriage framework is totally different from the 41.

I've got a Tamiya Flak 37 in the stash for a future mod bash.

Tony lee

[adampolo13-Email Not Valid]

Hey Tony, I went back and looked at my 88, it does have a riffled barrel... Not sure if you saw these but the gun comes out very nice! I'm sure you'll do a better job than I (it was my first attempt at weathering)

[wbill76]

Man Tony I'm jealous! Not only do you get to work on this kit, but it's in grey styrene! Very nice progress and lovely details on that gun.

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

OH MY GOSH Adam and i'm just getting started
Good looking piece buddy.

Bill I was surprised to see the gray plastic myself. Large multi sprues just for the gun,heaven help me.

Tony lee

Adam that's a good looking build . Did you do a wip on it here ? I remember someone doing one of these a while .

Tony , one piece / part at a time my friend .

Wow, the new frontiers of slide moulding are pushing the limit

Great start, Tony, another promising build

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

Update
Steps 11 through 29













Now I have to go back and place a bunch of PE stuff on it.
See you later my friends
Tony lee

[bbd468]

Oh, i like it when ya skip to the big shooty thing! Great build as usual brother Tony.

[Deleted]

I like ! I like it much !

[wbill76]

Lots of lovely detail there Tony! Won't ask how many parts went into those steps...I'm sure it was plenty even without the PE!

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

OH BROTHER bunches and bunches of parts. I put in a couple of hours before bed last night just to get a head start on it for today.

Found a big mistake in the instruction that's why that one control box has a glue mark on the front of it.
I'll mark the step drawing and post it tomorrow,too tired right now.

Thanks guys
Cheers
Tony lee

[Deleted]

I didn't notice that glue mark before you mentioned it Tony .

I wouldn't want the job of making the drawing for a complicated kit like this ! Still , you'd think that kind of thing could be caught and corrected before publication .

See you here tomorrow .

Hi Tony

This is very much on the shopping list so I'll be following. The breech details are amazing.
