I don't have any crew in my kit...so I don't think so. :cry: The academy kit 971 does.

thanks guys, unfortunately it doesn't include a crew but there are a few sets out there for 2cm flak but all in "action" poses so I might try to cobble together a crew from other sources.

Day off so a bit of progress made...

I'm toying with the idea of a duo with this, it's been a shelf queen since Tomcat I think did one rather well an as a consequence I lost the will

Nice work mate - the wear and tear on the gun assembly is great! :clap:

I've not built an Elefant so not guilty on that one! I think Stokesy did one for the winter build so it might have been that one you were thinking of?

Many thanks for the nice comments. Calling this done now. The only thing I would consider changing is the awful 'spring' that dragon supply for a tow cable, it kept pinging the clamp off and would only fit with a very sharp bend so copper is the way to go, I took the alternative way that it was lost in the fog of battle... :shifty:
