Customscale keeps on releasing really interesting German WW2 conversions... this time we present the 1/35 scale 2cm Gebirgsflak on RSO conversion kit.
35054 - 2cm Gebirgsflak on RSO Conversion (for Dragon 6691)

The German Raupenschlepper RSO was primarily used as a carrier for troops or supplies. However, there are also pictures proving that heavy guns as the sIG 15cm or the 7,5 cm and 10,5cm mountain guns have been placed on the rear of the vehicle in order to obtain self-propelled guns. One extremely interesting combination was achieved by the combination of the vehicle with the 2cm Gebirgsflak 38 which has been used by the German mountain troops.

A corresponding conversion set is now available in 1/35 scale by Customscale.

Well, it's a bit out there, but I'm glad to see these obscure vehicles have their day in the sun, too.

Hi, Just as an info: The Gebirgsflak has been designed to be a lightweight gun. So, with approximately 300 kg on the tripod without wheels that load should be no problem at all for the RSO
