Proposed 5.5cm Flakpanzer Panther

(I love Paper Panzers!!!)

The 5.5cm FlaKpanzer Panther was a proposal based on new, more advanced 5.5cm guns. The new turret, with new sights and guns, was to be mounted on older hulls returned for refit and/or repair. 

This 1/35th scale model turret was mastered by John Bottomley for Accurate Armor, kit # C033.

Accurate Armor kit#C033

For this very simple conversion used the Accurate Armor turret and the Tamiya Late Panther G (kit #35176). I used Tamiya Acrylic German Grey XF63 mixed with XF08 Flat Blue to make the base coat. I wanted the tank to look like it was just rolled from the train yard. The little bit of weathering used was pigments.

Just after paint

Simple and Fun Conversion!!
