This is going to reverberate. Several months ago, AFV Club announced a Flak 18 in 1/35th scale. Guess what?
The release date has been set at JULY 2005. The price has been set at an absolute, bargain basement price of $34.95, but the fact they have the 'poster' out means it's close.... Dragon Models Limited are bringing out...

(6260) - 88mm Flak 36 in 1/35th Scale

I have to acknowledge the source as a thread posted by Piet Duits over on Missing-Lynx

It is worth noting that BOTH the Flak 18 and the Flak 36 barres are included.

The Details...

- ALL NEW tooling

1)Cradle and Shield

- Two kinds of gun cradles, each with full internal details

- Slide molded one-piece shield with exquisite detail on both faces
- Shield is molded to correct scale thickness
- Armored viewing cover can be open/closed


Traversing pedestal and cruciform legs

- Fully detailed gun mount (unsurpassed detail)
- Full detail on all surfaces, including turntable and bottom plate
- Fully functional and highly detailed cruciform legs
- Right/left legs can be folded up for transportation
- Stabilising jack assemblies can be height adjusted for uneven ground
- Slide-molded securing spikes

It's also a safe bet to assume that an SdKfz 7 is not too far behind....
