FOund this one as well:

I think that would be an excellent use of it.[/quote] Do you realise how big and tall a Flakturm would be in 1/35!!!! I'm not an expert on those but the large Flakturme in Hamburg, Berlin and Vienna had 128mm Flak 40 and 128mm Flak 40 Flakzwilling guns I believe. See Wikipedia article here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flak_tower Cheers, Christophe[/quote] I don't mean to construct the whole tower, my friend (Although it would be amazing to see in 1/35 scale )

Yes, could someone please forward the idea to Claude Joachim then? Sebastian

Anyone played MOH:Airborne? Last mission, running around in the FlakTower? That is HUGE, immensely huge. Even doing just a section where a Flak 88mm would be stationed would be vast in size. Anyway, I've got the earlier Flak 37 kit coming over from HLJ, so looks like it's a nice comparison to have the two next to each other. Would there be limbers in this one?

Yup, we know. That's what makes it fun

Equally, one could say 'Not another uniformed comment?' Just to put the record straight, DML has done a superb job bringing out models of a very-widely used artillery piece which was ignored for nearly 30 years. It's a release which fills another gap and makes good use of existing mouldings. So rather than being dismissive, look at the interest it's generated - in two days, almost 2000 people have been sufficiently interested to look at the News Report... [/quote] Yo Jimbo it was a joke none the less it would be nice to see something different than a half track varient, another Sherman varient and another Panzer varient regardless of the 2000 views in two days. It would just be nice to see some different on the market Do what you want with the comment it was my opion and im allowed to state it regardless of you thinking its another uniformed comment

Another gun to add to the stash

Martyn: you first photo shows a typical production 8.8cm Flak 37. It's cruciform mount is the one depicted in the earlier kit, not the one in the upcoming release. The second pic you posted does have the simplified cruciform mount. As to the Flaks in the Berlin Flak towers, I wouldn' t expect any of them to have the full cruciform mounts. If a gun was to be completely static, just the base could be mounted to the roof and secured. No need for a fully mobile version (production or simplified mount)

That is true: Flakvierling as well:
