Dragon Flak 37

[dvenn]

Sorry about that, have new glasses and pressed the wrong button.
Anyway have just recieved this box of goodies, and was wondering if you were me would you buy a detail kit for it?
Looking at the contents im not sure, it seems that it will build a superb kit straight from the box what do you think.
Also i would like some advice on german grey, as i intend to finish it in this colour, i know that its a colour that is no problem, but a few years ago i came across an article on the Tamiya Tiger1, and was impressed by the way the colour had been mixed, as i recall it was a mix of dark grey and field blue, but as always in hindsight i didnt download for referance. So any help would be welcome.

Many thanks
Dave

Havn't done the Flak 37 but earlier this year i did the Dragon Flak 36. After getting much advice about Panzer Grey, which varied from light grey to almost black i painted mine in Tamiya XF-63 German Grey.
The Flak 36 was a fabulous kit to build and certainly didn't need any additional detail kits, it seemed to have the lot.

heres a link to the thread i started at the time.

'Yep', the Flak 36 Dragon is a nice piece of kit and goes together well.

Have not painted(sprayed) mine yet, but was thinking on a sandy colour, 'any advice Napoleon', I beleave I asked this in your posting about this on the other thread.


Dave, you can delete that post lol ;D, the one without the glasses.

You shure your not on that there scrumpy lol.

Thanks Napoleon and Foxy, im going to build it straight from the box inc gun shield. I see one of the options is for a panzer grey gun of the HG Division in Sicily, any ideas on figures, as iv looked on the web at Dragon figs, and can only find relaxed poses, if not then it will have to be a Korson Pocket Dio, with Dragon Gen2 figs.
Many Thanks Dave

Hi Dave.

Well pitty you did not buy the Dragon Flak 36 DN6260, this comes with crew.

The sad thing is that I cannot find any other maker who makes the full gun crew on there own (88mm that is).

You may have to go for your choice or use some from various kits around to make up the gun crew.

Mind you if its not maned then any figures will do .

Not Dragon, I know, and somewhat ancient, but a starting point, perhaps :
