Tristar Flakpanzer I A

Hello all!

Since I have allready finished two projects this year I thought it was time to start a new one.

I will be building this little beauty.

The gearbox took me a hour to build but the detail is very nice. This thing is small!!!
I broke the leaver shaft when cutting it from the sprue so I replaced it with stretched sprue.



The lower hull interior. The seat is fixed with maskol to make it removable while painting.



The hull went together well, but there were some joints that needed filling just to be shure.



All cleaned up now....



The suspension was tedious to build but at least it went together well. Again, I attached them to the hull with Maskol to make them removable.



Very complex suspension for such a little vehicle.





Thanks for looking.
