Hi Tim,
All good fun. I must admit I was surprised to see them emblems
on the Creil barrel and the destroyed one in the desert.

Now you are getting
crazy
Black & white was O.K.
Before you know it you're shooting Pink elephants with your 88
Was it on a model or an original color picture ?

Stewart,
I think black rings would be better on your sand colored gun. Tim is right though, there isn't a right or wrong color. I doubt commanders had the time to dictate what colors to use for this kind of thing - but tigers in Russia used black and white, so maybe there was standardizattion??
Four rings is way too modest for the 88, these things were tank, plane and ship wreckers on the battlefield! I think 14 is a better tally!
Use whatever color for the rings stands out. The excellent photos from Sven <thanks Sven!> look like a dark grey gun. White rings would be better on the dark grey.
I still cannot believe your gun is a stock build. What a gorgeous model. The 88 is one impressive looking gun - all business!

Robert
You're right 4 is too less, if you look on the first B/W picture i posted, of the gun on the Belgian shores, you can see there are about 30 lines...
Must of bin a Belgian gunner

Four rings is perfect. Its not even in servcie with its unit yet. Twas on the train when it destroyed 4 aircraft
Must admit it would look better with a dozen or so
Sven
Should be a fascinating trip.

What's a month...
I already went back for a 2 day trip to La Gleize...
Before going to The Ardennes in octobre i would like to go to the archives in Freiburg...
The Ardennes is one thing but as i've heard the Archives will blow your mind...The info, drawings and pictures they have there...
You could stay there a month and still not be wanting to leave...
See you in Octobre (and the others...)
Regards
Sven
