I can't make anything out of the instructions... I just can't build up the gun, and can't find any references that could help me. Does someone have photos of the built CMK Flak43? Alternatively, does any company have a 3.7cm Flak for sale?
Thank you...

Tamiya makes the 3.7cm flak gun. It is sold separately as well as on a Pz IV and half track.

Hey Andras,
The Tamiya 3.7cm AAA gun is a Flak 37 and not a Flak 43 like the one on your cMK kit.
The Flak 37 is a completely different gun from the Flak 43.
The Tamiya's Mobelwagen Kit #35237 has the Flak 43 and their Sd.Kfz. 7 half-track has the Flak 37 mounted on them.
Italeri released a Flak 43 Kit # 363 as a towed AAA gun and a sWS Schwereschlepper half-track with the Flak 43 mounted.
I don't know if either of these AAA guns are available at present.
If you can't find a italeri Flak 43, pick up the Tamiya Mobelwagen, it's more expensive but it's better detailed than the cMK kit.
Cheers

Thank you all for the answers. (I just don't know what the difference bewteen a 43 and 37... I guess there's a lot to learn in this hobby )
I'll try to get the Italei gun; the problem with the Tamiya kit is that I already have the CMK...
