Hi All Got another thread going about The Flak 37 and Gun Trucks. Started this one to find a crew . None of the Plastic Manufacturer's seem to do a crew for the Gun. Does anyone Know of a crew for it ,even just the gunner would do? Resin or Plastic. Thanks Geraint

Hi, Geraint, I believe Legend or Warriors does a Winter crew for the 3.7cm gun in resin. It's pricey but good, though again, fewer figures than in real life.

And Tamiya has a crew, though I won't touch their figure sets.

Tamiya is offering their old Flak 37 kit with a new Luftwaffe crew. The figures are nice done; only the heads are a little bit to small or the helmets are to big.

Geraint, that set isn't the same one as this one. The one I have linked to was what I had in mind, though I would love to see builds of either one.

Got the change of the Figures cheep, unwanted, I think the gunners legs can be used, with mod'n with other figs. I think I'm on to a winner the Flack37 gunners legs they are at full stretch, something u dont see with many other Flak crews. Unless someone can find the right crew? Cheers Geraint

Bill and Bob got the Sh Ad 52 ordered today Also got Tristars 20mm Flak 38 crew and Tamiya's Luftwaffe crew of someone on this site, well pleased. The Tristar kit has been a nightmare to find, I've looked every were. got both kits for 20£ plus posting! I'm sure I cn scrape and putty a good crew out of the two. Also got quite a few sets of German Hornet heads. I was thinking about what was said about Tristar being small most troops in German army were 16+ late war, so hopefully will get away with it. Seen the spruce shots of the Tristar ceaw and it looks good even the hands and boots are seperate, so loots of scope. Now finally I've setteled in to new house abuild will follow, its one of the more exciting things I've done for a while and not a TRACK in site, Cheers For all your Support@ matthew too Thanks Wil Try and post Pic but thats up to my missis, I am not to hot with computers, as u both know
