I made figures of the same manufacturer matched with the Flak38 in April 2015.
This is the figure set of good combinations with Flak38. Ancient kit, so how about the detailed molds?
Various poses and five figures should be included…
It’s only C, D, and E figure runner; there are the same parts set one more! I have no complaints if the two C-E runners and AB parts. I have a 38t anti-air tank so that I can use another team for this AFV later. It was almost four years ago to purchase; now TRISTAR is inactive. I heard a rumor that molds are sold to TRUMPETER.
Come to think of it; it’s a better pair of A & B figures. It’s difficult to adjust the sitting gunner pose to fit Flak38’s attached legs and hands.
I picked up the magazine from other kits (38t anti-air self-propelled gun). It looks good holding their hands in binoculars and magazines. Some gaps are filled later.

These guys have no helmets, and I pick them up from Dragon Models spare parts. It’s great to keep many remaining parts.
Every figure in this kit they have narrow eyes. It looks challenging to paint small eyes this time. I have an option that only lines thin lines instead of detailed eye paint.
I used plastic runner flame heated and thinned. Sometimes I use metal parts, and plastic is better for handling.
I think it’s a sense of urgency scene.
Another angle.
They are all severe expressions. This is not a time for laughing.
These figures are painted in oil; on the other hand, the anti-aircraft gun is in lacquer paint. I divided the page because the pace of progress was considerably different based on drying time after all my work progressed almost simultaneously.
These are glistening in oil paint. I wonder if mixing a flat base in oil is not glossy finished from first…
They are awakening forcibly by my brush. I suppose wide-eyed expression looks much in the scene of the coming enemy fighter plane right in front of them.

I have stocked this figure kit for many years, so I got FLAK38 and finished it together. As I commented on making, I have one more set unexpectedly.
The white of the correct loader’s eye became a little larger. Three figures are painted in oil; I mixed many oil colors to make the field gray uniform by trial and error. I wonder if it’s almost the same as a lacquer for plastic models.
Lightly chipping on the helmets, I painted shadow and light on uniforms. A pretty precise sense appeared after using the rank insignia of the TAMIYA decals set.
This gun was operated by four crew, commander, layer, loader, and range-setter. I set the person who is holding his binoculars as of superior rank.
Seeing their face was hard, so I took a shot from ground level.
When adding a figure to a cannon, it’s a stronger, eye-catching point. All three are not good-looking guys; they look like ordinary soldiers. Always figure painting is complex.
