Now before we all start saying k&C this and K&C that i got this piece for nothing as it was smashed so what happens now is pure brillance by O'Bee (John O'Brien).






To be continued i can't wait to see my new FLAK 41..................

The good thing looking at this is that the damage was not too bad. with the parts that go to make the gun looking ok. Are you having the colourway changed or keeping it the same??

Mitch,

I'm painting in AK sand colour for Noth Africa. I'm not putting the gunner back, but repainting him into tropic kit, as so far, Wayne doesn't have a gun crew.

Good news is that I have been able to make the barrel elavate, so he may want to show it in AA postion.

Keep a lookout tomorrow, I should get it finished, they Wayne will come ove rto pick it up and pay his dues ( a beer or 2 )

A beer or 4 my pleasure..............

I thought it may be getting a repaint. Will the gunner work DAK though as he is in some heavy duty winter kit??

Finished.................
And am i happy with it John added kill rings and he also put in his words ( I have added as screw into the hole where the broken resin lug was located on the base under the barrel and recuperating assembly, (seen in the ‘in parts’ image I sent you yesterday) so you can screw it in or out to raise or lower the barrel. (innovation ????)
You can then decide on how you want to display it, but you now have THE only K&C FLAK 41 that can go into high angle AA mode!!!!
Also note the ‘kill rings’ … 6 as ordered)
simply superb can't wait to get it home no allied air near my AK airbase.............^&grin

BRILLIANT!!

Thanks all i am lucky to have John 10 minutes away can pop over for a beer and a chat,and drop of box loads of re-paints for him (He loves doing it really).

Wayne the repaint is just great. Will go well with your extensive AK collection. I have only done one K&C repaint and it too was of my second and broken model. I've attached a link to a previous thread to show comparison with yours. Congratulations to you and Obee.

Looks great mate i remember seeing yours and thats what made me grab one even tho they both ended up arriving damaged.......

Your Flak 41 came out great. I have one also.Mine has a small crack on the right side of the gun shield.A small amount of super glue to fill in the seam and do the repair and some flat camo touch up paint did the trick on mine. I like your AK version.
