Hey Pete!!! Yes, this is a definite classic from Tamiya, and is still, after all these years a great kit to build! 😎👍👍 It's one of Tamiyas older kits that can still hold its own against other , more recent offering from other kit makers. It's been my "Go to" kit, whenever I did a scratch build/kit bash, like my T-34 and Panther D with Flakvierling for my 653 Heavy Tank Destroyer Abteilung vehicles. I only ever had to switch out the barrels for metal ones. The trailers I had left over ended up as a variety of ammo and storage trailers. Thanks for the great review as always! Cheers!! 👋👋😎

Thanks mate. Glad you liked the video. Must admit, this old Flakvierling 38 is also one of my favourites too. Have this one pegged for a small diorama myself. Cheers!

Hi Pete, This looks like a great kit. It would be very useful for a diorama. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff

[@PetesKits]

Thanks Jeff. Have a good one yourself!

Excellent review Pete. I can absolutely guarantee that I can make any kit complex 🤔

[@PetesKits]

Don't worry you're not the only one. Just spent an hour looking through sprues, plastic bags, and boxes, for a part that I needed, only to realise, I'd mixed up the parts and glued the one I needed in the wrong spot....might go and have a lie down now....Cheers mate!

@@PetesKits 🤣 I thought only I was capable of that!

@@martinoconnor4314 I have TWO strong torches next to the bench ready to go, for when I manage to drop, or flick, a part onto the carpet....which happens at least once every kit build. :) Cheers!
