Looks good. The supplied flat bed is useful.

Test assembled TS1 sprue, quite a few spots that need fixing, but overall quality is good!











































Enjoy!

Nice.

Supplying the pedestal base is a nice feature, great for scratch builds as well as the flak vehicles.

Now where can I get some suitable "period" looking SAMs?

Smurf , Bronco has a couple of WW2 German rockets in 1/35 , Might be a good place to look for ideas

Could also scratch one of those Nubelwerfer launchers like used on the armoured Maulteir , or how about re purposing the Katyusha mount from the Studebaker Deuce

Nice.

I photographed an X-4 at the National Space Centre, not quite as dramatic as a Rheintochter.

Maybe Heer46 would be interested in a multi launcher on the SDKFZ 7?

Easy Conversions using an SdKfz 7 half-track (280065) and two upcoming Q2/19 releases - 2cm Flakvierling 38 AA gun (280073) and 3.7cm Flak 43 AA cannon (280074).

The SdKfz 7 comes standard with an optional rear flatbed platform and round gun mount. These can be combined with the two upcoming releases to convert your half-track into an SdKfz 7/1 or SdKfz 7/2 without the need for any conversion skills.

The 2cm Flakvierling 38 also comes with a trailer that can be used as a normal SdAh 51 carriage trailer for the gun or as a SdAh 52 ammunition carrier as an on-tow trailer.

We simply take care of the conversion hassle for you. You just buy the two kits (or three, or four) and then put them together!



Enjoy!
;)

I'm also going to guess the conversion kits will also allow you to make a stand alone or towed AA gun?
