Here is an Ideal. Why dont 21st C take the 88 and mount it on the flak panzer chasis. They have the 2 molds already and it is a vehicle in 1/32 that know one else has done yet. And then they could put a flak crew with it.

I have been waitng for the 8T PM SDKFz to have the flakverling from the flak panzer mounted to it for quite some time?

I did a little looking and found they produced a few different versions of 88s mounted on the PZKW IV chassis, but I have not found any photos of them. Anybody seen any?

To be honest, without looking in my books, I don't believe there are any other 88 mounted Mk IV Chassis except for a prototype or 2.........

Ive seen photos of an 88 mounted on a panzer IV with drop down shields like the flak panzer. Im gona see if i can find a pic of it. Also seen photos of it mounted on an 8ton prime mover. But these may be just field modifications. The Germans love doing that kind of stuff.

Ok I found some photos on a web site now how do i post them here. I have them saved on my PC. One is a photo of an 12 ton prime mover witch is similar to an 8 ton. The other is not a panzer IV chassis but looks like a ferdinand chassis. (Elephant Tank)

I was doing some research on the German 3ton Ford trucks and I came across a site that had listed the varients of flak panzers the Germans put together. They didnt list how many were built or used but they listed four prototypes built on PZKW IV chassis alone and even more built on other types of chassis including th Panther and some other tanks. Personally, the only track mounted 88 I`ve seen is on a interleafed wheel suspension chassis that seems to be of its own rather than an existing design. I will look for the site and post it here.

Here is the link to the web page with the 12 ton mounted 88 and the ferdinand mounted 88. I havnt figured out this technology yet so you will have to copy and paste the web site

I have seen a model in 1/35 th scale. It was if I remember correct a dragon piece???? If not most of those companies do serious research before release.

I cant say I have ever seen a picture of an 8.8cm on the panzer chassi, but the italians had something very similar with a wrap around gun shield tracked chassi?
