Isn't that the truth

Sad, Sad world with no color. And its perfect. Just kinda tells you the mentality of a person, That says that.

Just a final point about colour I also (hopefully by now) know what is right and wrong in camo colours for german stuff and, this in the flesh is not too bright its a nice matted dull tone. Could it have a little weathering well yes but, it does not need much. Yes FL have a 150cm cannon coming out, yes, Figarti have 88mm Flak guns out and coming but, they are different versions of german artillerie and, this version of the Flak gun was completely different with different colour ways and, at the start of this thread having seen many pics and built this one in kit form the camo scheme is very good and very realistic based on this version which, K&C have visited IMO.

Well, for sure. You do not have blinders on. You are not a one man manufacturer, with blinders on, . You have given sound opinions, on different manufacturers products and has bought from a Broad Spectrum.. And do not rely on just how it looks in pictures and the internet. And gives a fair shake to everything. Kudos.

I plan to, Plus the Grant when it comes out, and the 3rd installment of the Crusaders (gotta be fair to everyone right)when it comes out (I am spending my Holiday Bonus, On some great items, It is just the WWII (that is mostly gray, and every figure resembles, each other. be it german or russian), That I have a problem with.

Ok Frank, we get it, you're passing on the K & C 88 because the colors don't look right to you, the price doesn't work for you and you don't like it.

You've made your point very clear.

As in crystal.

Afew years from now when these are long gone and they are going for big bucks on the secondary market, don't have a meltdown over it, we all know how torked off you get when collectors sell retired K & C sets for big money.

Just warning you now so you don't blow a head gasket, a valve and a johnson rod........

He probably blew a Johnson rod when he saw his team be vick-timized yesterday. Only so many rods you can blow

Well, Said. And If Brad is talking about The Philly game, Sunday. That was a total meltdown by NY. Or Michael Vick is that good

Guys...

This was delivered today and put into a temporary dio until the main one for it is done.

I have to say, that many said it was very expensive with seperate figures etc and that detail looked poor but, the quality and size is amazing IMO. The figures are very large and heavy with brilliant detail and, very good winter camo painting. the gun itself, well.. its amazing well made and well coloured and very well detailed.
The art work on the box for those who like the full package is excellent and well presented. so, if your on the fence about this set I would definately say get it before its gone.

It sure looks nice in the setting, Mitch. Thanks for sharing the pics & congrats on a fine acquisition. Perhaps I will rethink this one.....

Not to detract from the thread but it was more of Michael Vick taking over than the Giants melting down. Kind of a perfect storm.

What is a Johnson rod. Is there one on the flak gun.

Re: Re : Vezzolf’s Comment

And the Johnson rod?

I believe George is referring to an episode of Seinfeld where, the character ironically named George, is talking about cars and mentions a "Johnson rod"- it is a fictious part of a car. The dialogue is centered around mechanics taking advantage of people who do not know anything about cars.

CC gets the square.

 

[Mitch]

I do see for whatever its worth is that the gun itself is now not showing in any catagories in K&CUK or K&CHK websites so, it looks popular
