Flakpanzer IV Mobelwagen In Action

I was just having a little fun with one of my new toys and took these digital snaps. I'm gonna call this montage "Jabo's On The Horizon, Belorussia 1944" For those of you who are unfamiliar with German WWII military jargon, a "Jabo" is short for "Jagdbomber" and was a term used to describe an allied fighter bomber, and in 1944 the skies were full of them, since the allies had almost total air superiority over the Germans. I may try another series tomorrow featuring the Flakpanzer IV "Wirbelwind". Hope you guys enjoy. Cheers,

Scott

OUTSTANDING work that`s incredible

So the Flak piece a 1/16th piece or did you scratch build a 1/18th piece?

Again Outstanding work mate & look forward to seeing the Wirbelwind

Isn't this a 1/32 version?

Isn't this a 1/32 version?

Indeed it is, these are the 21C (Motorworks) "Cold Steel" Mobelwagen and Wirbelwind. Both have been out of production for quite some time and are becoming increasingly difficult (and expensive) to find in new condition, I have been trying for months to locate one, (especially the Mobelwagen) and I was fortunate enough to come across a small cache of both at a fairly reasonable price, and the result is what you see in the pics. Steelbonnet, thanks for the kind words, and I'll try get some snaps of the Wirbelwind today, weather permitting. BTW, this would make a stunning 1/18th model, and it's a shame that 21C never produced either in that scale. Thanks guys,

Scott

Sigh....beautiful piece of armor. I was kinda hoping 21st would make several armor out of the 1/18 PzIV chassis like *gasp* a Hornet! But....

It makes me wonder about my decision to give up my collection of 1/32 scale.
