Gents. I was visiting the Perth (PMMS) site this morning and saw this listed in the "new releases" section. Looks like Dragon has this little surprize for us:



Here are the kit main features:

Gun
- slide-molded one piece gun barrel with hollow muzzle opening
- hole positions and shape of flash suppressor & muzzle brake subtly represented
- three types of barrel (standard model, late model and Schwebelafette version) can be assembled
- gun cradle offers great definition of detail
- spent shell case frame is truly replicated
- spent shell case made from photo-etched parts
- slide-molded ammo clips
- cannon can be elevated in any one of four positions according to modelers’ intentions
- gun sight with well defined details
- gun shield is molded to correct scale thickness
- slide-molded spare barrel case (with spare barrel molded inside)
Gun Platform
- round base plate with authentic details
- accurate weld seams on the sides of gun platform
- tightening hand wheels around the platform base have sharp detail
Trailer
- trailer with well defined details
- trailer can be portrayed in transport or “at rest” modes
- tool box with lock details made from slide-molds
Bonus
- detailed slide-molded ammo boxes
- bonus photo-etched gun shield (Pre-formed)
- tightening hand wheels have option of bonus photo-etched parts
- bonus photo-etched gunner’s shield
- Cartograf decals offer different markings
- Box art by Mr. Ron Volstad

Interesting that Dragon would go and release this 2cm Flak 38 kit. I wonder if this is one of the new "secret" releases announced on the MDFC armor club forum ? Could this be one of the "Happy Holidays" kits


Regardless, I'm sure this will be yet another excellent kit from Dragon, and that Luftwaffe Flak Artillerie crew depicted on the Ron Volstad box art has my interest peaked !

Just thought I'd pass this word (and image) along to my fellow Armorama members.

Cheers !!

Jim. Sorry about that, you beat me to it :-)

Well, I guess added visual effects are ok, right ?

Cheers !!

Hello,

Do you think Dragon will release along with the 2cm flak the luftwaffe crew ?
It would be great since there is not much flak crew available (except tristar one).

The Flak comes without crew...Jim
