Halinski 1:25 88mm Flak 36

[CharlieC]

Anyone thinking about building this model - don't bother - it isn't worth the anguish. It does go together well - I didn't find any major issues with the fit of the model. However, figuring out how to put the model together was about 70% of the effort required. There are two pages of fairly crude drawings which never seem to show the parts you're interested in. There are some photos but these often are subtly different from the drawings. The parts can occur anywhere in the part pages which causes endless frustration trying to find the parts. This is a fairly old Halinski model and the modern ones are much better but I think GPM's 88mm model has got to be a better option.

Regards,

Charlie

Because of how great it looks I guess it was worth the effort. It looks perfect

You did a great job despite the issues.

Great work.

It's not a Halinski's Military Model?. Looks like something newer. I built this Flak too, but mine was from the mentioned Military Model and it was on awful glossy cardboard. One of the most difficult models.

In spite of the pain, you produced a really good-looking model, Charlie.

It turne out to very good despite the time spent playing the paper model version of Where's Waldo with the parts.

Ya - looks great. Nice to be able to still complete the "old" design kits.
