There you go...

Calavera,
First of all welcome to Armorama.
The gun is the famous 88 mm Flak 36. If you make a Google search I'm sure that you will find many information.
As for the uniforms you can see this link.

well, its been said, it is an 88mm flak, possibly a gray color with coating of dust, maybe a yellow/tan color, although I've never seen that on an 88. Good luck!

All I see are red "x"s in boxes....

All I get in the thread is the 'dreaded red "X"' also. I thought it was just me, misery does love company I guess.

If you want to built a FLAK88, you should wait till the Dragon and AFV club kits are released...they will be far better than tamiya's model!

I made the img tag into URL hot links so you can view/jump to the site.

thanks Snakeye~
Great site!!!
Ron

that is the german 88mm

Thanks to all for your help!!!

Martinnnn, when do you think Dragon will release their 88mm Flank? Anyway this is going to be my first Dio, so probably for me Tamyia would do fine, right?

Go for the tamiya, it is a really nice model and you get extra 9 figures loading the gun for your dio plus a zundap. As for the color I 've never seen anything but grey 88s.

I just saw over the internet (internethobbies) the new release from Dragon of the 88mm Flak and i just have a word to describe it, WOW!!!; it's a must-have model.
Anyway I guess I will get both, the tamyia to do the Dio and the Dragon to treasure.

i don't know if it was correct, but in the war museum in Overloon, here in Holland, there was a Flak 88 with a yellow/tan collor. i've got a picture of it which i will post later ( only when i can find the pic )

here are 2 pics, 1 of the flak in the yellow color and 1 pic of a panther tank with the flak on the background.(the second pic is more trustful(about the color)).



i hope you like it
