Well when @PaulG posted his really nicely built German 20mm Quad Flak gun it reminded me that I had one of those built up that I had made eons ago when I first got back into modeling sometime in the early 1990’s. I had fooled around with a couple planes but the Tamiya Quad Flak was my first ‘armor’ so to say. Lot of ‘firsts’ on this one- I drilled out the barrels (which was a big deal, I’d read about it being done in Fine Scale Modeler). I built a small display base. I attempted to create a “snow” scene. I drilled out the gun sight and added crosshairs. And this was my first attempt at figures (thank goodness the faces are mostly hidden) and I entombed it in a plexiglass case (which is probably why it has been around the house so long without being broken)
At any rate, although aged, these were state of the art kits back then (I think they came out in the early 80’s or maybe even the 70’s)
Who all has one of these in their stash or built up? Lets see it…
Cheers,

. It’s been in a case at my mother’s place ever since. I wonder whether the quality of these kits reduces as the injection moulds wear out. Probably not yet I guess…
