I've seen a 1/35 conversion of the MiniArt model, but one in braille scale?
Really unusual!

Verlinden had one in 1:15. I kind of doubt you’ll want to build it, though

Trumpeter Flakpanther with 88mm in 1/35

Nice products,
Probably a stupid question but was this a paper-panzer or also produced, can't seem to find a picture of an 88 version like above?

Hi Steven,

Pure paper panzer and never produced. If you look at the Panther chassis, it has been lengthened, having 10 sets of steel road wheels on each side. The steel wheeled Panther only had 8 sets on each side.

There were attempts of mounting the Flak 88 on the Pz IV G and the Sonderfahrgestell Pz.Sfl. IVc, but only a few were produced, mostly prototypes. Some Pz IV's with the 88 actually saw combat as did one prototype of the 88 on the Pz.Sfl. IVc.

88's were also mounted on 12 and 18 ton half tracks and on the 9 ton Vomag truck.

Prost
Allen

Yep.........the 88s worked no matter where the Germans put them :tongue-out3: Cheers Allen.

Interesting … show of hands for who expects the BARC as Gecko’s next kit as a companion to this one?

A YouTube video.....................

I think this shows the impracticality of the concept!
