German 20mm Flak 38 Crew

Very detailed item, definitely one of the better quality squads. It can be used for a half track or a flakvierling as well. Would recommend on an intermediate level as the poses can be difficult for a novice to assemble and paint.

After I bought this I didn't how I was going to use it. Then I read Lawdog's reveiw, but instead of tristar I went to Tamiya's sight and looking up discontinued items and found 20mm flak 38 #tam35102 searched e-bay and found it (they're out there). This crew kit is outstanding great detail, plenty of gear you will not be disappointed. One tip set the arms after the gun is secured on base for the right fit to the gun. Could also try other guns such as a 37mm a quad 20mm or even a vehicle. It is a great kit of different style poses.

This kit is part of a much larger diorama that I am planning and building the parts to now. This kit is just the crew of a German 20mm Flak 38 and shows the gun being moved on the battlefield. The crew are SS members and not Heer, so if you are looking for Heer you may have to make some adjustments. The perfect gun to build with this is the Tristar 35010 kit. They go together rather well and will give you what is depicted on the box of this crew. Only took about a day and a half to build out the crew, paint and all. I would highly recommend this kit due to the scene it depicts and the relative ease of building the figures and the gun (Tristar 35010). Hopefully, Hobbylinc will carry the Tristar 35010 so you don't have to go looking for it. It may be hard to find though. You may be able to build out the scene using a Tamiya 35091, the key word being might. It all depends on whether or not you can bet hand placements to work. It would be worth a try in my opinion. Great pair of kits and I really like the scene it depicts.
