Thanks, schweinhund227, Scott Girvan, Haggistom!

Here is my next upgrade. I am working slow, but the work is difficult. I regret that I am not pro in soldering...
What I like in our hobby is that every time you do something - you learn something! So I learned alot while making those workable engine compartment covers. 2 days of work! Since the upgrade was for Dragon model I spend some extra minutes on fitting the covers into Tristar.

While resting from PE work I glued the wheels and what I really like here is how the manufacturer did suspension and most importantly the tires come as a separate part so no need for masking!

Let the pictures speak themselves! Enjoy them and feel free to write whatever you want

Overview.

Close-up, yes they are workable!

Re: Tristar Flakpanzer 38t

Small update from today - spend 2,5 hours on radios and wiring. Headphones are from PE leftovers. Maybe I will add one more (wire next to the seat).

Re: Tristar Flakpanzer 38t

Just getting caught up! Very nice so far, I love the detailing with the radios!

Thanks, folks.

Re: Tristar Flakpanzer 38t

I'm in awe at the detail. The radio, the antenna, the headset...INSANE!

Thanks for sharing

Re: Tristar Flakpanzer 38t

Hi, Haggistom!
Thanks for the kind words. It is not the antenna - it is extra wire for one more headset...I haven't decided yet if I will put them or not. The antenna is in the front of the vehicle, next to engine hatches.

Re: Tristar Flakpanzer 38t

LOL - wow. That wiring is awsome.

Some very nice building and painting. Looks the part for sure. I've the Marder III ausf H from Tristar in the stash...might take it out after seeing this build. Keep up the good work and the updates.
