Civilian Cold War VW beetle

 VW beetle 

I am always on the lookout for civilian bits that will fit my Cold War scenes, I was excited to come across a hot wheels collection of VW cars which in due course will hit the painting desk. This one my my wife’s mothers car in the 80s. Very snazzy at the time in two tone orange and white.

Volkssturm Konigsberg

Over on the Wargamers Forum Alan popped up a video of the defenders of Konigsberg, great volkssturm references for my Berlin build. I have taken a few freeze frames for future reference.

Luftwaffe Flak 88 - Luftwaffe Field Division part four

 Luftwaffe Flak 88 

Another addition to my 16th Luftwaffe Field Division. I want to also add a supply dump and towing vehicle plus a towed version to complete the battery, and two comms coils 

Gun is a simple Airfix I think with SHQ crew, which fit nicely with the 1/76 gun. 

Cheers
