I received this kit today from a friend. I am a plane modeler but I think this will be a pleasant change.
The kit seams to be pretty accurate. It came with etched detail parts as well as some after market details. And it looks pretty detailed with metal parts.
I have not actually looked at all the parts but I am very excited 'cos it looks quite challenging.
Has any one built, or is familiar wit this manufacturer or this kit?
It looks WW1.

WW2, The renowned German '88'. Designed as an AA gun, it was also a consummate tank-killer. Usually emplaced without the wheels, but it could, and did, be fired with them still attached. Hope this helps a bit, there is a wealth of info on this gun available out there. Al

Thanks Michael. This is very interesting. I would love to see a build of this model.
Its going to be a time consuming endeavor, thats for sure. But I am sure worth all of it.
