Thanks Capt,
Huh, I thought it was an 8 sided turret. I know the double angled sides, thus making for a somewhat trapizoidal shaped plates. Could one fake it by doing it as an 8 sided turret ??? Also, if I deceide not to do this turret, there was another flak tank that had a rectangular shaped open turret with the quad mounted inside it. Any thoughts on this

the wirblewind was the only flakpanzer to mount the flakvierling 4 barrelled anti aircraft gun. The mobelwagen only mounted it as a prototype and the only other vehicles were the sdkfz 6 and 7 halftracks.

If you bought a wirblewind model, built the turret and then used that as your guide i don't think a wirblewind would be that difficult. If you don't get the turret the right shape you may find you can't fit the flakvierling inside of it.

I don't know of any paper models of wirblewinds, otherwise that would be a perfect solution, as you could just enlarge, copy and fold.

I always thought that they were shaped like a stop sign. But looking closer they are shaped more like a stretched Super Man shield. Those angles would be tough to replicate.

The Ostwind, Wirbelwind or the Mobelwagon (or all 3) in 1/18th!

Absolutley yes. I think this is a very real possibility in the future.
