William Kirchmayer
Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin
William combined a 1/35 scale sWS halftrack(Great Wall Hobby), Flakvierling 38 (Tamiya), and trailer (Italeri) from three different companies to get the model he wanted. He scratchbuilt the gun mount, added Eduard photo-etched metal updates to the Flakvierling, and painted with Vallejo acrylics sprayed through Paasche and Iwata airbrushes. He chipped the paint and lightly weathered before calling it done.
