1/35 88mm L71 Flak 41 Anti-Aircraft Gun w/Sd.AH.202 Trailer W.I.P

Yes, I started it ages ago, but I haven't got very far. I stopped when I decided I wanted to replace the cockpit.
 
Eventually I'll buy the Aires cockpit for it, but it's not a high priority at the moment.
 
Update:

Sorry I don't have more pictures. I'm exhausted.

Two more seats and the blast shield and the build is complete. Only a few more hours of building to go...

Thanks for following along!
 
There are soooo many parts in this thing. Just for reference, there are 6 pieces that make up each one of those seats. Then there is the blast door that has 10-15 pieces plus P.E. I figure I have 2-4 hours of building tonight, then primer tomorrow. T, I hope your ready to paint this thing!!! NO RUST!!! Well, maybe some streaks here and there. ;) Let's just say I am looking forward to something simple to build next...
 
Looking good! They probably wouldn't be rusted that much anyways, just oily and gun and smoke residue.
 
Is it painted? LOL!!!! Just messing around!! Looking bravo A!!! Tempted to look into one of these myself!! ;)

I wish!!! Good news is the wife has to work tomorrow. I have an oil change first thing in the morning, then I'm picking up a el'cheapo fan to knock up a quick spray booth. Then it's primer time! That's assuming I have energy to build once we get home from the URI basketball game.
 
That's the spirit!! LOL!!! I would be looking for an all night oil change place and get it done tonight!!! Gain about an hour or so tomorrow!! LOL!!!
 
What I forgot to mention is I also have to rake leaves in the yard tomorrow. Either way, this will be primed by the end of the weekend. ;D
 
Neibors won't care if you blow leaves around a 3:30AM in the morning!!! LOL!!!! Simple...time management!!! ;D
 
If I was going to do it at 3am I should have done it last week when everybody's generators were going. Haha.
 
What's a little noise between neighbors!!! :p Are you going to lay down the primer by AB or rattle can?
 
AB, I've been using MM enamel primer for a while. Do you have any recommendations for primer?
 
As far as primers go, my favorites are Tamiya primer in a rattle can and Tamiya liquid primer and Mr. Surfacer through the airbrush. They aren't cheap, but they lay down great and don't obscure detail.
 
Most recently I have been using Vallejo Grey primer (on the fence a bit with it)...but am never apposed to using the occasional standard gray primer in a can (LOL..Rustoleum). If the can makes you squeamish, you can decant it into a bottle and the shoot through the AB after!! Been known to used Tamiya dark and light grays for a primer as well!! Smooth stuff there!!! ;) Like the Tamiya the best!!
