About Me

My photo
I'm a UK based modeller, specialising in German and Commonwealth armour. I have worked on a commission basis for enthusiasts all over the world, created masters for one of the big 1/32 resin "ready made" model companies, and have recently helped out on some projects for Archer Fine Transfers and other 1/35 armour accessory companies. I build for myself - when I have time! - concentrating on Stugs, Pz IV's and UK and Commonwealth WW2 stuff. I also post my work on www.track-link.com, www.missing-lynx.com and www.warwheels.net. Please leave comments or questions on the blog or on any of the websites I post on. If you would like to contact me, just click on "view my complete profile" below for my email address. All the best, and thanks for visiting! Dave

Flak Maultier

Here is something a little different.

 I have always admired the ingenuity of those during WW2 who adapted existing equipment to improve or add to their capability, or indeed to make up deficiencies. The Germans were masterly at this. 

 I saw a photo of a Ford Maultier with a 37mm Flak mounted on the back, and thought I would like to model it. I got hold of the ICM Maultier, and used the 37mm Flak from the Italeri SWS mit Flak 37 kit. Voila! A perfect match. Well, maybe not quite perfect as the ICM kit was a dog to build --- the tracks were hideous -- but I soldiered on with it, and I think the results are pretty acceptable.

 Anyway, here are some pics for you to make up your own mind:
