This is a Flak 36-38 88mm in 15mm scale (1:100) that I FDM printed a few years ago. Dragged it out of the junk pile, since I want a couple of 88s for certain reasons.
From a distance, it looks roughly like a Flak 36, but any closer than about two metres away it looks like absolute rubbish. So I think I'll reprint it in resin, which should be less pants. I hope.
I'll take the opportunity to separate the gun shield off from the mesh and thin it down a bit.
Next day...
To nobody's surprise, I'm sure, the resin print is a bajillion times better than the old FDM. The modified, thinned-down shield is much better, and looks a bit less like it's made from a chunk of armour plate from the Tirpitz.
At the moment the gun shield is just sitting in place. I'll glue it down permanently when it comes time for basing the thing.
A bit later...
The gun has its initial base paint applied, and I've glued the cruciform chassis to an MDF disc with a bit of basing dirt on it.
I've also added a Command Decision crewmen on one of the seats.
I'll be giving the gun a 3-colour camo paint job. I was considering putting the crewman in an Italian motley of European and tropical uniform, but I think I'll probably just do him in overall field grey for maximum flexibility.
There are more crew figures yet to be painted and mounted on the base, and more ground flocking to do.
