The truck, at least, comes with two trailer-hitches (tow hooks) that are removable. One can be used for static display and the other has a removable pin that allows it to tow the 32x Pak-40, IG-18, and 88mm gunlightning2000 wrote:Agreed. Anyone know if they come with tow hooks so they can transport the Pak 40 or 88mm Flak guns?

Agreed that's why the Sdkfz7 was used as the tow for the 88, it was too big for a regular vehicle..aferguson wrote:hmm.......not sure that truck could tow all of those guns. Maybe the Pak but no way the 88.

Opel Truck
Right, but we're talking toy replicas here. Powerplant performance is a non criteria. Hitching an 88 to an Opel, while not historically correct, is a faux pas in the grognard's mind but not the average collector. Better they have something to tow it around the battlefield than nothing...

My concern wouldnt be historical correctness either. My concern is getting my hands on these things with out having to pay $50 for an Ebay sale or buying from one of the dreaded "gougers" out there in 21st land...Still no Corsairs in my area, but I cant see myself paying $35 for something that should cost $15-$22 any where else when they do eventually flood the market...
