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
- Exquisitely detailed traverse wheels
- Handles on the gun crew seat can be assembled in either operational or transportation mode
- Detailed fuse setter
- Detachable gun shield (depending on which gun mount is used)
- 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
- Additional half-length securing spikes suitable for dioramas
Trailer
- Fully detailed trailer
- Slide molded one-piece front and rear trailer units
- Individual suspension components
- Full detail for trailer’s brake system and fittings
- Cable reel has full detail w/ cable
- Workable towing bar is detachable
- Groundbreaking injection molded multi-layered tires w/extreme detail
Bonus
- 6 man gun crew w/range finder
- Metal recuperator
- Aluminum barrel for Type 18 barrel
- Aluminum barrel for Type 36 barrel (two separate parts)
- Brass ammo x 3 types
- Ammo box x 2 types (wooden and wicker)
- Photo-etched parts
- Cartograf decals for the camouflage paint scheme on gun shield
- Cartograf decals for various divisional markings
- Metal chains
- box art by Mr. Ron Volstad
It's also a safe bet to assume that an SdKfz 7 is not too far behind....
More details as they come out.....
