G'day all,
Attached are pics pertaining to what should be, in relation to the Sd.Kfz 250.1, an easily repaint and detail for another Taowan all-metal model - the Horch Type 1a heavy standard passenger car with the spare tyre in the middle (on both sides) indicative of an early version (later versions had one inset giving a smooth surface on both sides).
I finally found a CHE Flak 38 w/trailer this year (Wartoys.com) which allows me to replicate somewhat a box art for the Tamiya 1/35th Horch and Flak 38 w/trailer and I'm sure I've seen threads on this site of someone doing something very similar...why not, it's a great combo.
I'm saving the Flak 38 w/gun shield from the CHE Flak 38 for another project (replicating an example that is on-show at the Australian War Memorial here in Canberra) and using instead (as a matter of time-saving) a single-barrel Flak 38 that I'd used in the 'Achtung Jabo' dioramas of 2018's ScaleACT however not in a ground role akin 'Saving Ryan's Privates', the crew, ammo and stores will be put inside the vehicle which will be repainted and detailed also with the commander asking a soldat on the side of the road for directions (such is the diorama plan for this one).
The gun will get a bit of a spruce-up paint and detail-wise whilst the trailer will get a base coat of Dunkelgelb and weathering. I'll go that far before I post more. Enjoy, Steve
