Heels together, chest out, chin up!

Straighten up maggots! Its time for LEGO MILITARY HOUR! Today we are featuring a Flak-88 built by one βricks-țo-ųse. The Flak-88 was a family of German anti-aircraft artillery guns used in the Second World War. This rendition is a near miss, with slight scale issues and minor inconsistent details. We are not quite sure what is going on with the cheese slopes on the support struts, and the technic pins for a barrel are not quite up to snuff.

As you can see, real Flak-88's had a smooth, tapered barrel, and not as much junk around the support struts (called a cruciform). It would be nice to see a few more crew members, as these were heavy guns that required multiple crewmen to operate.

Still, all things considered, a good attempt! They captured the essence of the Flak-88, and we could recognize it as such.
