could we just pretend......

Making a flak 88 with out a Sd.Kfz. 7 is like having a Mustang with a four cylinder engine or pumpkin pie with out coolwhip.

I sure wish there was a 1/18th Sd.Kfz. 7 .................

the sdkfz 11 which is the same chassis as the sdkfz 251, towed 88's in africa, when the need arose. But i've never seen an actual 251 towing an 88.
