E-75 Flakpanzer 5,5cm (Rheinmetall Turret) (1/72)
Flakpanzer on E-75 Standardpanzer chassis. 5,5cm Zwillingsflak- Gerät 58, Rheinmetall turret.
For this project i´ve used Modelcollect´s UA72019 kit.
This kit is based on their pre- built collection series, which means that all the tools and side skirts and other details that are separate on the other kits series are shown molded on.
That's why the first thing I did was to remove all these elements.
Gun barrels and PE´s of the kit were missing, which is why I used new gun barrels from Aber (72L-61) and the small PE set from Hauler (HLH72132).
I used two sets of the original link and length tracks to create a convincing track sag.
A little note about the suspension: it was an absolute nightmare to assemble. ?
Furthermore, I made a few other small modifications and detailing.
For the most part, the vehicle is largely unchanged.
The figurines (resin cast) are offered by GeBo Figuren 72039.
Posture of the figures corresponded very well to my idea, but I made a few changes to them.
The most heavily modified was the sleeping comrade at the back of the wall.
On the whole, the GeBo miniatures have a good cast and detail quality and harmonious proportions.
The jerry cans are from the 1/72 Bronco set (GB7020).
Amazing work. Esp. in 1/72,...Details & Weathering are top notch. Will take some notes on this one!
I have a few 1/72 armor diorama projects!
Steve,
A wonderful diorama once again, Simon @s-nagorsnik
Once again I'm stunned by the amount of detail you create in this tiny scale.
Well done.
Beautiful! Very nicely done
Awesome work, especially for 1/72, Simon!
Thank you for your kind words my friends!
I'm glad it's well received😁
