German 88mm Gun Flak 36/37

This is a GREAT kit for the money. The weapon and it's wheel assemblies are really well done, even though they are an extremely old Tamiya product. All of the figure poses are fantastic, but expect some thickness in some details as seen in all of the older Tamiya kits. My favorite features are how the weapon piston assemblies move as the main gun elevates, the hinged gunner's port window, and that the cannon can be modelled in the 'recoiling' position if you want to make it firing in your diorama. You get a LOT in this box, you won't be disappointed at under $30.

Tamiya sells this artillery piece in two different kits . One is featured with the military vehicles and this one with the dioramas. This kit is way cooler . You can build this either as a 36 or a 37 and fixed or mobile . I built mine on the transport bogies in a firing position ( the other kit doesn't have the bogies nor does it have the motorcycle and rider ) . This kit also includes 8 guys and tons of accessories . All in all this was a very challenging model that went together well . And the best part is it's cheaper than the other kit. This kit is a must have.

Likes:Very little mold flash,minimum trim/sand before gluing parts.Highly detailed model once assembled. Makes a great stand-alone model or placement in a diorama. Dislikes:NONE. Backdrop and enclosed glass display adds to and protects your work. They are worth the expense. See my photo - Tennessee Reb
