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.

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

I am a shameless shill for this kit. I have built 4-5 over the years and can't resist it. The gun itself is beautiful, the model is excellently executed (particularly for a 40-year-old mold) TONS of detailed parts, including some parts for the separate FLAK and PAK versions (parts which you'll want to keep in your extra parts box for other customizations) AND, a huge bonus is the nine men and BMW motorcycle. The eight-man crew is a Tamiya figures kit in itself, as is the motorcycle and rider. Those would be about $6 and $4 as separate kits, so you're getting a magnificent artillery piece for a real bargain. I don't see any downside to this kit, Tamiya should be proud and I wish Tamiya would add those kinds of extras to all their models.
