Do you have any context for the third image? It looks like an 8.8cm Flak towed by an
FT-17 (is this the fumigation version of the FT?). Are the personnel Polish?

Regards,

Charlie

Firstly thank you  both for the kind assistance. Now my model can advance a little more...
Apologies for not including the link before, which is
http://www.weu1918-1939.pl/artyleria/przeciwlotnicze/88_mm_17/departament_artylerii_plot_88_mm_17.html
Indeed the FT version spread chemical products, I thought a sort of primitive nebelwerfer.
Any assistasnce may be welcome.
very best regards, Edsmile

Hi

I can send additionnal pictures of the gun exposed in Aberdeen and referenced on my webpage (passioncompassion1418). Let me know if this would help.

By the way, it looks like this one is a 80mm and not a 88mm, but these guns had nearly no differences apart from the caliber...

.... the 8cm version usually had solid steel wheels,  wereas the later 8,8cm version had the  weight-saving wheels with the holes.  ( of course the usual blending of types likely occured with model change-over. )

Eduardo,   what specifically are you looking for ?   I have the German manual for the Krupp system(  correctly termed:  8,8cm K.Flak L/45 ).

Dear Eduardo ,

sorry for the late help here - had recent computer problems - already described in my mail.

Here are 2 pics which maybe from use . Must say with your choice of model :

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM ! Pictures and details of this interesting gun ( for all of us ) from

this early state of use are very rare . I only can help with more pics from alternative use

at the kaiserliche Navy from this time . As i told once - i am projecting a blank cartridge

firing model of an UTOF 8.8 from this time . Barrel and some lafette parts are ready .

model.Size - 1:6

But here now the two pics

Best regards to you and Pepo !!

Thank you for your fast response and the link to this polnish page ..

Astonishing how much stuff can be digged out when you bring

the stones to roll ...

Hope for you that the important wheel suspension miracle will be

answered fast . The pic you show seems to me the first light in

the darkness . Can't wait to see the masters model !!!smile.gif

All the best

your ol' Lafettenkid
