It looks great, I’m always amazed at how y’all can breathe new life into the older kits. Great work on the bunker as well.
Very nice build. The bunker looks great and the weathering on the 88 gun looks very good. We have something in common; we both use cheesecloth for camo netting…[:)].
I recognized 2 of the Tamiya figures from the Pak 40 kit. They fit in perfectly. Good job.

Kelly,
Great dio, but I have to ask…what do you find so painful about the 88 kit? I built this kit years ago and enjoyed every minute of it. Again, great job on the Flak bunker !
Steve
I have the kit on my shelf and an aftermarket barrel. This is inspiring me to put it together,
Thanks,
Ted
Hi Steve,
LOL well, maybe I exagerated a bit, it was an ok build, but my kit had alot of flash, and ejection pin marks to fill, everything was going ok with the build, but when that gun didn’t go on right, that’s when I was all like “man, this sucks!” haha
out standing[tup][wow]!!! thats all i can say!!
Kazak, even better than the halftrack dio. Excellent job!
Kelly,
Well you’ve certainly made the best of that 88 kit!. I guess the tools are getting a little worn out since I built that baby back in the 80’s. Again, stunning work my friend.
Steve
Thanks again guys!
I dunno, I kinda like my halftrack dio…LOL
Just uploading some more pics here, and yes another halftrack dio! 
Love the concrete. I will definatelty be trying that stuff in the near future. Great work!
Very nice indeed. And there was me thinking that kit should’ve burned in hell decades ago. I wouldn’t have even noticed about the gun shield unless you’d told me though. By the way, cheese cloth is a rarity wherever I look, where do you guys get it from (other than cheese)?

Seb,
where I get the cheesecloth is pretty much any supermarket. I go into the section where items like boxed stuffing would be (maybe in the spices area too) I buy what is called Poultry Stuffing Bags. Super cheap. You could also use medical gauze to get netting, but I prefer the cheese cloth.
Russ taught me this, when you want to lay your netting, here’s a quick and easy (although messy) way. Take a cup, add what every color paint you want…here I used just brown acryllic paint, add some water and white glue. Thoughouly mix, and add your netting. Mix it well with your hands until the netting has been “stained” with the paint. Now, take the netting, and wring it out with your hands, but leave some moisture. Place where desired, and let dry. Boom, the netting will stay in place when dry, hard as a rock, and then I just drybrush some cammo patterns and I’m done.
You need to post some of your work in the Readers Gallery. Great stuff.
Thanks Vonryan, as I stated before, I just got in FSM’s Great Scale Modelling 2005 (From the show in Calgary that I went to last year) Gotta get pics of that dio in here as well! LOL
