Well you can tow it with an M4 tractor...
You can convert it into an AA Missile launcher....
Or perhaps...More to come..Jim

You can also put on some nice whitewall tires and tow it with a deuce-and-a-half...Jim

I don't know. The picture with the what look to me like scaled down HAWK missiles on the 88 mount looks photoshopped to me. The shadows just don't look quite right...
Neat ideas, though.
Thanks for all the pics.

Howdy Jim, fellas,
A very good question you pose there Jim ( ), and I will take the query and stretch it a bit further......
" What CAN you do with three Flak 36's? "
Well, one of the things you can do is build a Deutsche Kriegsmarine Siebelfahre 40, or in more usable 'parlor' language, a German Flak barge!
{ there's two more 88's at the other corners of the barge that are unseen in this photo}
One of the large scale projects I've taken on is 1/35th scale German Flak barge that is based on a slightly larger version of the barge pictured here. It will have three Flak 36's {configured just like above), and a wheelhouse centered with 4 (four) 20mm, multi-barreled Flakvierling 38's mounted on the raised roof section of the wheelhouse.
As soon as I get some pics, I will share them.
Tread.
P.S. I like the AA version.....never seen that photo.

It was real enough - the only one ever built though. The Flak36 chassis was usewd as it was the only thing solid enough available...Jim
