This is another scratch built AA gun I built a few years ago. I changed and added a few new parts to it to get it looking right,also changed the colour. 1/24 scale,copied from a 1/72 kit 3 times bigger.

  Thanks Manuel.Not really a differcult model to build.Copied the dimensions to the nearest 0.05mm of the 1/72 kit made templates of the cradle and made and added a few more small detailed parts.Sorry no more photos of the build.Never thought of doing it back then.
