20mm Zvezda 88mm Heavy AA

At the Derby/Bruntingthorpe show, I picked up a Zvezda 88.  A nice looking model but a bit tricky to build.  Not least, the sighting telescope flatly refused to come off the sprue intact.  Apart from that, it seemed to go together pretty well.



The crew supplied are very smartly turned out in classic Wermacht uniform with jackboots and look a bit stiff, so I may at some point replace them with some more natural poses.


 
Looking forward to fending off the Soviet hordes or lighting up a few Ronsons with it in future games.

Thanks for looking.

    Great work- that is a nice kit- good to see a seated gunner with the crew too.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

      Thanks Pete.

      The model is very nice. I just wish the figures didn't look so crisp and clean. I've just bought some Britannia crew in greatcoats to give me more options.

      Cheers, Andy

    It looks great Andy, but I hope it gets swamped by Sherman’s/Ronsons ;)

    V/R,

      Thanks Jack.

      Of course, T-34s are the preferred enemy. We just need to hold them off long enough for the Fatherland to be liberated by the Tommies and Amis.

      Cheers, Andy
