Hi Just a few words to start this build off...It's a Flak 88 36 mounted on a Sd.Anh.202 trailer...The size will be 1/6 scale...I have to scratch build it as the Armortek kit is no longer available and I couldn't afford 4K English pounds which is double in dollars where I live " just ridiculous "
I will use alloy steel and brass.. Have got plenty of Pics and some measurements to get me going.....might take a few weeks to get started as I need to purchase several different size alloy square- round bar and 3-5mm sheet..
The length approx just over 1 meter 300 high..a future project will be a Sd.Kfz.8 series DB9 Half track to tow the Flak 88

Havent thought about camouflage paint detail but like North Africa sand yellow

Wow! Can't wait to see your progress!

Sounds great! If I can make a suggestion -- make sure you research which variant you wish to build. The 8.8cm Flak 36 and the 8.8cm Flak 37 were different guns based on upgraded equipment -- there was no such thing as a "Flak 36/37".

I wrote an article a few years back about the differences if you care to look: http://www.track-link.com/articles/1203

Hi Roy Thanks for the infomation..no doubt I will need more as I move along.. The Unit will be 36 ..A lot of the pics and information I have refer it as 18.36.37..... I can see the difference in the 18 series but the 36.37 dont look that different to me..must be minor
Could you please explain the difference as I haven't found any information except that it had a separate gunfire control and a pointer on the elevation scale..
Most of the information I have referred the gun as Flak88 18/36/37 or Flak 88 18/36 or Flak 88 36.37...I know everybody has their own interpretation but it can be confusing ..as I not a Armor specialest I rely on what I read...I just like building things

Hi Had a big chunk of alloy bar turn up today..160mm diameter x 100mm long..I have to cut a 30mm biscuit off this....These two pieces will make the gun turrent..This will keep me busy on the lathe for a few days

Hi Doug: The difference between the Flak 36 and the Flak 37 was in the caged light dials (36) versus the clock-faced indicator dials (37). The fuze setter devices were also different.

Also the 37 eliminated the auto-rammer equipment. Good luck w/your project!!
