I know the Germans like to put guns(AA and AT) on everything. I have a 35th scale 3.5 ton truck AHN kit and I wanted to make it a gun truck. Would the Germans have done something like that? Thanks for the feed back.

Hey thanks! Mine will be a gun truck using Tamiya's AHN 3.5t truck kit #32410.

I did a quick Google search and couldn't find that particular vehicle/gun combination — assuming AHN w/3.7cm Flak 37. However, from what I could tell from photos and drawings, the AHN seems to have a smaller footprint than the Opel Blitz. Could that possibly make the AHN less suitable for the gun-mount that you have in mind?

If it rolls, mount an AA gun on it! ... Then, if it flies overhead, shoot it down! 💥💥💥💥💥

Cheers!🍺

I too looked around and couldn't find anything. So I'm going with what you said, if it had wheels or tracks, put a gun on it! LOL!!
The Flak 3.7cm should fit and if it doesn't I'll put the 2cm Flak 38 on it.
