3cm M.K. 103 Zwilling Flakpanzer IV "Kugelblitz"

Cyber-Hobby's re-released Panzer IV Flakpanzer Kugelblitz


Although very few photographs survive of this prototype it still makes into a very pleasing model. A review can be found below

My model making journey starts (2010)

It's late 2010. After starting the Tamiya Steyr kit I found a bunch of old modelling stuff at my parents. These included some quite well preserved figures, paints, and even the old but battered 1970's Tamiya Tiger I. What surprised me most of all though was that some of the Tamiya paint's were still usable!

I figured the Tiger I would be a great guinea pig so I set about trying out some of the latest techniques I had read about. One thing that I picked up early on is that the large Tamiya spray tins are not really suitable for 1/35 scale kits, and I would have to get my hands on an airbrush. I did some research and soon acquired an Iwata HP-C-Plus and compressor.

The Panzerwreck books really appealed to me so from the very start I was attempting to convey some wrecks. Scratchmod's site was a great inspiration and I soon set about destroying brand new but very cheap
kit's, in my attempt to display wrecked vehicles.
