überlandwagen 88 mm AA version

There's a bigger version of that photo on Henk of Holland's resin manufacturers' page, which also lists many other MGM model kits (scroll around halfway down for WW1 stuff):

I've attached the photo so as not to eat into Henk's bandwidth.

MGM has done antiaircraft version of the überlandwagen. Expensive, but looks nice.

And here I went and ordered a regular uberlandwagen last year to do a from scratch conversion. Looks like they beat me to the punch on that boys, I'll have to accquire one for my korps. but hey who knows, MGM may even take a crack at an A7V trencher?

Greetings, Josh

Hi MTorrent,

the guns of the model are 76.2 mm Krupp (Russian caliber) and not 88 mm. This Raupenflak was already too heavy with 2 of these guns and did never have 88 mm guns.

K-Flak, 

 

yes, you are right. I should know that, but made a mistake... 

 

Thanks for correcting.

Two Überlandwagen with this armament of two 7.62 mm guns were send to the front late August 1918. Koflak 18 concluded at the end of September that Überlandwagen could not replace the common horse-drawn or 77 mm K-Flak near the front because of a number of problems. For example the strong smoke development during firing made it easy to spot for the enemy and the gunners lost sight on enemy airplanes.

Many Thanks for the information. I was considering making one in 1/35 scale but will probably postpone the idea for a while.
