                        I got the link up today muzzleflash88. Thanks! The interior looks surprisingly detailed. I was actually thinking of doing mine with the top folded down!

                        Hey all,

                        I asked this question before, but the discussion took a different turn, so I didn't get a response, so I'll try again.

                        Does anyone have references or sites with good photos of German WWII towed arty, particularly the AA stuff, like the Flak 37 and Flak 38? I'm trying to figure out how accurate the Tamiya kits are and to get some ideas for my build.

                        Thanks...

                        Hey Boyd, if you are looking for a published reference, try German Flak in WWII by Werner Muller. Has lots of photos of German FLAK guns that you won't find anywhere else.

                        Howdy all,

                        Is this the right place to post pics of our finished Towed Gun models???
                        I haven't read the thread in YONKS, so I might've lost the plot a little... let me know, and if it's all good I'll throw up a few nice pictures of my project.

                        Cheers,
                        Mark

                        Actually Mark, the group build is to commence on Arpril 15. This is for new builds only.

                        Tigerman,

                        Yeah I know, actually when I introduced myself to the forums a month or two ago i mentioned I was working on a towed gun, so the originator of this thread (sorry, can't put my finger on the name just now) pointed me in the direction of this group build.

                        I do realise it begins in April, although as I only just finished the kit I thought you guys might not mind if I posted some pics even though I'm early.

                        Tell you what, I'll post them in a separate thread, with a link in this one.
                        Problem solved!

                        OK folks,

                        As I've jumped the gun and finished WAY early, I've posted the pics in a separate thread rather than this one... here's the link:

                        Sorry Mark, I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. Nice build on your gun. Hey if you got anything else you still can jump in the group build.

                        Would be cheathing if I start earlier, too and just post the pics when the GB actualy starts?

                        He-he-he.

                        Went to my club meeting on Saturday, and one of the guys was selling off kits to make room for new ones. I got the Tamiya SdZfz 7 with the updated crew (to go with my 88), the Italeri RSO towing Pak 40 and the Tamiya Stug 3 G all for AUD $60 (about $45 USD). The Stug alone is $60 AUD at my LHS.

                        You sould have seen it, arms and elbows going everywhere, almost as bad as a post christmas sale crush, except not a handbag to be seen.Tongue [:P] Missed out on the Acadamy M12 and M51 by a cat's whisker, they were at the other end of the table. Can't complain though or I would just be too greedy.

                        I was going to do my Krupp Protze and 3.7mm for this build, but now am undecided what am I going to build. I'll need replacement tracks for the SdKfz 7 and RSO, so availability may still point me to the Krupp. Besides no one else seems to be doing that combo.

                        Petbat, you are a lucky so and so. I was patting myself on the back for getting a Kommando Panzer and a Sdkfz for $30!

                        I have a Pak 40 in the cupboard which I may do for the build, but I am still got my eyes peeled for something a bit different.

                        Get any bruises for your trouble?

                        Wow, so many messages in here! Have been busy with other projects so I have not checked in here for a little while... Big mistake! Anyway, my Italian project got relegated to oblivion, for the time being in any case, and I'm working on a little diorama that will feature amongst other things a Puppchen ant-tank weapon and its towing vehicle. I should have 'on the go' pics very soon. At the moment I'm busy chopping away (you'll see what I mean soon!!)Evil [}:)] This is of course 1/76.

                        Hey Peter, you are certainly in the right continent for replacement tracks for the RSO! IIRC WWI Productions makes them, and if they are anything like the Pershing treads I have, you will love them.

                        Looking forward to seeing what you will come up with!

                        Dwight, the dates are just suggestions! Go for it!

                        Then I'll go for the Flak88.

                        I'm still waiting for my ICM kit to come in. I'm getting a little worried actually. I ordered off the site, and got a confirmation, but also got some stupid discout that was dated with an exiration date PRIOR TO MY ORDER DATE?!? So I hope everything went smoothly with it.

                        You are a bad man Larry!

                        Does anyone know off the top of their head what the Germans used to tow the 15cm Sig33 field gun?

                        It was pulled by a variety of things -- trucks, light half tracks, and horse teams. I'll see if I can find out if there was a designated prime mover, but I don't think there was.
