What veical useally tow's the 88mm Flak 36 and where could I get one that is in the 1/35 and looks great with some good detail that looks right? Pices would also be good to get some good refrences for my next Dio.

Ordinarily the Sd Kfz 7 an 8 ton half track towed the 88. Tamiya do one - which I think has recently been re-released - anyway it is now an old kit. I have only recently been able to get 1 after a couple of years looking to go with my Tamiya 88 bought a couple of years ago before DML announced their release .

I also have a DAK photo of a Panzer 2 tow an 88 in the desert which is what I want to base my intended dio on because it is a bit different. However I am sure that this was an emergency tow only.

There has been discussion here and elsewhere that DML may bring out an Sd Kfz 7 soon to go with their 88.

I don;t know whether any other manufacturers put one out in 1/35.

The usual tow vehicle would be the 8 ton Sd.Kfz 7 half-track. The only kit in 1/35 is the old Tamiya example.
