Versuchsflakwagen 8.8cm Flak auf Sonderfahrgestell

OK Mike now pay attention.
Three were built all with Flak 37s.
The three were changed over to Flak 41s.
One was changed back to a Flak 37 because the 41 that was in it was worn out before being sent to Italy
for battlefield testing.
The other two with 41s stayed at home for more testing and training therefore still painted Dark Yellow.
The one sent to Italy would have been repainted the camo of the day which was a base coat of Green with
Dark yellow and sometimes a bit of brown for the overlay camo pattern.
Clear as mud but I read the book :laugh:

James if you mean that range finder it's all painted and i've been thinking about it.
I set the sides just to show how they could be arranged. The Flak 37 88 will have its sides partially down.
Weathering will be on the light side for this one and heavier on the 37.
What do you think?

I like it. I notice you havent painted the gun yet. Will it be in primer then? I like the cluttered look with the ammo stock piled. Gives it a used look and also shows off the different packing well. I wonder if there were any non standard rounds they might have tried that would add to the look and feel.

You make these complicated kits look easy Tony- very inspiring to one in the middle of something frustrating! :drinks CR
I decluttered a bit but still it represents the rounds and containers used. :hmmm
Opinions welcomed you know

I know Mike asked earlier but I'm still confused. How many guns are you building Tony?
You have a yellow one here, but this is green.

Tony is building 2 of the 3 vehicles (maybe the third also??). One with the Flak 41 and one with the Flak 37. I'm sure it will all come together soon

James there are three support rod positions at the front:
Three at the rear: Two notches on top of the rear casement wall on each side and one is a notch in the intake grill box wall. That's three locations each side just like the front.
Those crank handles must help with the sides because the rear panel has several grip handles for man power use.
My best guess anyway?????
