Ah, I was so distracted by the beautiful gun that I didn't pay any attention to anything else, nice save on the small error there Tony! Looks purdy with the tracks and the figure for scale.

No Pics tonight but I got the rest of the hardware on the casement walls and painted those. The kit did come with ammo. You get 3-metal tubes, 3-wooden boxes and 6-rounds consisting of 3pr/3 different types. Building those now. There's also one of those range finders that can be mounted somewhere?  or placed in a detailed packing case. Speaking of the casement walls I found out you can't put those in travel mode if you've installed the gun armor wing shields deployed out. So i'm going to have one side down flat and the other side partially down to provide protection for the crew manning the consoles. Thanks for all your interest and kind words folks Tony lee  |

Growth Hormone Update   Ammo and Range Finder with mounting frame and storage box:  I don't know where they mounted the R36 when in use? ? If you drop all the sides down you'll need some spare room. Tony lee |

jackwagon i'm thinking if in an over watch mode the sides would be down but in travel mode the sides would only be down enough for the 88 to traverse 360 degrees, the sides have three or four different positions they can be place in. Neat huh Thank you sir Tony lee |

Tony, this 88 is looking mighty sharp! What kind of weathering do you plan on?

Well Adam since only three were built before the war came to an end and only one went to Italy for battle field testing and it was fitted with a flak 37 and not a flak 41 like this one that stayed home, I figured it was almost spotless. I'll go lightly if anything bud. Thanks for asking Tony lee |

I like the idea of having one side dropped, gives you a nice view into that beautiful looking gun! Making good progress on this one Tony, glad you figured out where to deploy the rangefinder to! |

I decided to drop that side because that's the loading side. For that reason i'll stack some ammo boxes and what not on it,what do ya think? Appreciate the comments guys Tony lee |

Bruce it's all in the timing, how you hold your tongue between your teeth and weather the air crew wants curb service or not. Thanks Tony lee |
