Or
A German artillary spotter balloon that succumbed to gravity? 8)

Flyboy would you pm me the cost to paint a flak 88 like you did in one of your posts (viewtopic.php?t=16580). It really looked nice and would consider paying for a repaint. Also, I would be down for just the gun repaint w/o the carriage if there is a big difference. Oh and as important as price is the turn around time. Thanks.
