I have seen a bunch of FlaK cars for German trains, but wondered what's out on the market?

Atelier Infinite has released several 1/35th scale resin kits to compose a complete German BP 42 armored train, including these two Flak cars :

Trumpeter's kit should be cheaper



Baluard has released a 150mm Flak gun :

Thanks, Frenchy, for those.

Dave Schick (Illini) has done quite a bit of research on German armored trains, and says the Trumpeter kit only was used with their armored train kit.

I don't know enough to have an opinion, LOL.
