Hi guys,

It's taken me a while but I was finally able to find time and remaster the original Battleground Flak 38. There is a ton of additional detail, bolts, rivets, hooks, diamond plating, vents and more. The Flak rotates 360 degrees and has about 60 degrees of elevation. The gun magazines fit onto the shelf and into the gun itself. The optics rotate, etc.

These kits are made in house instead of Shapeways so they are smooth plastic with no grainy texture.

The model comes out next week and will be available in 1/32, 1/30, 1/18 and 1/16.

Here are some photos of one in 1/16 put together by Polish Pete. Not shown is the basket and mesh for ejected casings.

I'll post pictures of the unassembled kits when they launch.

That looks great, Grunt1! I’m interested in ordering a kit of the revamped Flak 38 when they’re ready... I want to make a 1/18 scale setup similar to my 1/30 scale K&C Flak 38 gun and crew.

I like it Grunt, plenty of crisp and clean details. I had a Verlinden
1:16 Flak 38, it was a nice piece but its time to update...so I'm
in for a 1:18 version

Polish Pete painted up this Flak 38 and I thought it turned out fantastic! He has been kind enough to let me share his photos.
