Sd.Kfz. 7/1 (early) with Flak 38

I saw this colour photo of a beat up and abandoned Flak Vierling Sd.Kfz 7/1 in East Prussia and thought it would be pretty cool to model this vehicle. Its been painted out in a combination of German Dark Yellow and Panzer Grey. I especially like the Flak gun which still remains in the original Panzer Grey colour. I just might have to do this one.

Haven't made much progress on this project since my last update but managed to get the road wheels,  drive sprocket and rubber tires painted up and attached to the frame.

1/32 Revell Spitfire MKIIa

Another model I have in progress is Revell's Spitfire MKIIa. It's been slow going but I am starting to make some decent progress on the cockpit. I got the seat painted the other day.and thought I would dry fit it to the floor to see how she looked.

Here it is:

Here is the right side of of the model with the track wheels dry-fitted.

I have begun work on the wheels for the Flakwagen. I am using Fruil tracks on this build. This is the first time I will be using white metal tracks. I wanted to show a picture of the difference between the Fruil drive wheel versus the Trumpeter kit part. The Fruil track wheel is accurate but I am not sure  how trumpeter came up with their version of the wheel. It's totally inaccurate. The Fruil wheel also has the tread pattern on the hub which is quite nice.
