1/35 Trumpeter BR52 and 2cm Flakvierling

Hi all

I have just finished my version of Trumpeter's 1/35 BR-52. It's finished in a self-designed "forest Splinter" scheme - something different other than the usual Black or grey/yellow scheme Trumpeter offer you. The way figure it, there were over 6000 of these made during WW2, so who knows exactly what was done with them all
Anyway, it was 9 months or so of hard work and on more than one occasion, it almost ended up in the drawer of doom. However, perseverance has paid off and it has resulted in my best work to date.
AM list was small but extensive - Eduard "Big Ed" PE set, LZ Models resin set, Armor 35 Coal and lots of time spent filling ejector pin and mold shift marks. I did scratch up a few things here and there, like the cab floor, light bulbs around the walking boards and air lines etc
Anyway, this is my first ever steam loco and also my last. Next up in a few months time will be the K5 railroad gun
