If you like the previous layout, this one is even better!  We have now updated the design to include one row of Luftwaffe helmet eagles... an optional Luftwaffe gun crew will be available soon!



Enjoy!

At least Germany has removed the restrictions on the swastika now.

The 3.7cm Flak 43 was a fully automatic cannon and effective against aircraft flying at altitudes up to 4,200m. The cannon was produced in both towed and self-propelled versions.

Our initial release is a single plastic sprue kit accompanied by a 3 gun crew figure sprue. The gun can be assembled in mounted or dismounted position and come with the SdAh 58 trailer.

The gun can also be mounted on our upcoming SdKfz 7 plastic kit as a SdKfz 7/2. Future planned releases include converted Panzer IV variants - the Möbelwagen and the Ostwind.


















Enjoy!

I'm looking forward to the SdKfz 7 and the 3.7cm Flak 43.
This Anti-air cannon has so many possibilities.

It's lovely, but that gun barrel is most definitely not designed with wargaming in mind.  I think Rubicon needs to keep in mind that most buyers of their kits are wargamers.

Their 20mm comes with both barrrls. Maybe this one does too?

If you look back  at the quad 20mm gun sprue , you notice it comes with 8 guns , 4 in scale and 4 a little bit sturdier for your gamer   . The 37mm gun sprue only has one gun . There fore unless Rubicon add an extra gun , all we are getting is the scale barrelled gun  and that's OK by me .  A lot of companies  don't give you extra bits like the scale / game 50 cal machine guns that Rubicon do in their Sherman kits , just have to be more careful I guess .

Yes, jumping on your models after a few bad dice rolls is not recommended! Although a spare barrel would be a bonus.

Enjoy!

While this German AA gun looks really good, it will be great to see some Allied AT-Guns in the near future.
