Thanks, Dean, I appreciate you clearing that up.

About 3.7cm Flak guns Flak 18, Flak 36, and Flak 37.... Depending on your sources... Rheinmetall (later R-M - Borsig) was to blame for the whole series of related 3.7cm flak guns. Their first model (Flak 18) was produced in small numbers and adopted by the Heer in 1935 (Flak 18? Go figure!). A small number of mount changes and adoption of a new sight, the Flakvisier 36, in 1936 resulted in the gun becoming the Flak 36. The Flak 36 went into production and was adopted in 1936. Shortly thereafter, RMB apparently decided to adopt the revised "Flakvisier 37" sight and do a couple of small mods to the mount- and redesignated this revised "updated" gun the Flak 37, in 1937. Flak 37 remained in production with the Flakvisier 37, and later, the revised Flakvisier 40, thru 1942. So far as I can find, those early Flak 36 guns were rapidly updated to 1937 standards and redesignated as Flak 37. Production was always pretty slow and these guns were apparently both heavy (ca 3900 lbs on its original trailer- later F-37 guns on a slimmed-down trailer at ca 3400 lbs) and complex - leading to development of the lighter, faster-firing Flak 43. I am no expert on these guns, but would wager that you would best be able to tell early Flak 36 guns from their later brother -37 guns mostly by comparison of the sights. Which leads me to the question of whether Bronco actually IS providing a Flakvisier 36 (needed for the true Flak 36 gun) along with an optional - 37 sight, or providing only a Fl.v 37 or maybe even a -40 - making this a Flak 37 in reality? Maybe this is more label vaguery a-kin to their calling this thing a "Flakvierling"... and we all clearly notice that this is no sort of -vierling (x4) device! I really want to see this kit built- it certes looks cool and detailed! Ditto for that trailer kit!

Thanks for clearing all that Bob! Makes sense... Rob

Well, it isn't now... The company sent me New images with the corrected text which i've just added.

Talk about a dio in a box. This set looks complete from one end to the other. All the extra goodies added make this a very complete set. Having the gun and ammo trailer in one set makes this nice. One more to add to the dio stash. Good going Bronco!

Bravo to Bronco for correcting things! Overall this is looking like a real winner, and I'm stoked to have the gun, trailer and Sd.Kfz.6 in my collection!

In response to Panzerbob01 above: I backdated the Tamiya 3.7cm Flak 37 to a Flak 36 a few years ago. With the information and assistance of a member of the Mittelungen IPMS in Germany who did the research, The difference between the two would include the following modifications: 1. The flakvisier elevation/traverse indicator on the Tamiya model would need to be changed out for a simpler one. This involves cutting off the indicator and cleaning up mounting arm. This is the hardest part. 2. Install the reflexvisier (Griffon now offers one, calling it a flakvisier 40) on a new mounting arm and bracket. 3. Install two new additional seats for a total of three seats, a new one for the loader and one for an addtional cannoneer to the gun frame. Each seat has the same bucket seat but the frame supports fold differently and each has a different back rest and handles. 4. The foot rest and pedestal (port side) of the loader, Remove the tread pattern and replace with strip styrene to represent the wood strips. So having done this, I can see that it's possible that you could have both kits available, but IMHO, the Bronco Kit is a new kit specific to the Flak 36, i.e. with three seats, the correct sight, etc. most likely without the additional parts and pieces to change it to the Flak 37.

Well, it isn't now... The company sent me New images with the corrected text which i've just added. [/quote] Jim, you still have the "vierling" in the text if you want to correct everything. Just fyi.

Couldn't agree more - I'm guessing that Bronco knows something we don't about PLA figures in the works, either from themselves or another source.
