German 88mm Gun Flak 36/37

My flak gun came out of the box mis-shaped. I built with the con-gears attached, and hooked to a half track. I liked the fact it came with men and a motor cycle. I'll have to get another one and see if I have the same problem. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. It was, still, a fun build.

I first purchased this kit in 1973 for 10.00.It was my first Tamiya kit and got me hooked on Tamiya models.The detail is superb as well as the many moving features.I almost expected it to fire.The model is well made and assembly is easy(as is the case with the majority of Tamiya models.The kit contains parts for building either version of the gun and decals to match.I am not planning on building this model immediately.This review is based on past experiences with this kit.In short this is a must own kit for any collector.

This was the first model I assembled since my youth (as in decades ago) and this was a kit I remembered when I was in high school. I made a diorama at that time and recall this kit, and the motorcycle kit that came with it. I have completed this as an anti-aircraft version and plan on using it in a future diorama with a few more pieces around an airfield. Can't wait to weather this as I have only begun to learn that process and am excited to take my modeling to the next level of detail.
