Finished: Takom Flakpanzer 38 Kugelblitz
This was my entry for Hot Out of the Molds 2025. More pictures of this project appear in that campaign journal.
This model was built and painted concurrently with the previous one but turned out much better for two reasons. First, details on the Takom model are more crisp and numerous. That really matters when effects painting. Second, I recognized the problem with red brown paint before working on the hull and turret of the Takom model. Bullet dodged.
Back in 2023, I started developing a airbrush heavy, oil paint heavy painting method for finishing my models. This Flakpanzer 38 Kugelblitz and the T30 Heavy Tank from January are very probably near my best possible result using this method. For my painting to improve, that method must evolve.
