Darren Baker takes a look at the Bronco Models release of the Versuchsflakwagon Fur 8.8cm Flak 37 Auf Sonderfahegestall (Pz.Sfl.IVc) in 1/35th scale. This is the version that went to Italy and may have been used in action.

It isindeed a wonderful kit, and as I wanted this version of it I substituted Dragon's excellent (if complex) Flak 37 kit #6287 TWO YEARS AGO to build this new version. It was a fine piece of kit-bashing indeed! And now everyone else can have one too!
Well, the original kit that I had at hand had the Flak 41 and I wanted the original trials version so I back-dated it by substituting the other Flak 37 from Dragon only to have -naturally- Bronco release that version as well. Now I have both versions.
Frank, the Flak41 version was released by Bronco *before* the Flak37...
That's what he is saying. He bought the original kit with the Flak 41 two years ago, and replaced the gun with the Flak 37 so he could build the version that Bronco has now released two years later....
