Well then, now it's in the right place and would be obliged if you still follow . But you'll need to be patient as I shall put this on hold for couple of weeks  . Guy, unfortunately it doesn't have a metal barrel, but the shield, spent case cage and other bits are in pre-formed PE  . Joe, thank you ole chap . Ian, well spotted fella, I must have been sleeping when I thought of this  . Marco, you will mucker, soon Steve, I thought you would like this, being a man who likes obscurities |

Morning Paul,
Great subject and one that I built a few years back myself. I used the Tamiya Blitz and the Dragon flak....and scratch built a sled for the flak.
I have a couple of pictures of it if your interested?

Took a bit of searching on the old PC but found some pictures.. Here is a picture of the sled 1:1 scale 
The research I did back then suggested that these were a field built piece so may vary from one to another. I drew up a rough scale plan to work to... 
And a test of it in place 
Another WIP pic.....couldn’t find anymore pictures. 
Look forward to seeing how yours goes mate....sure it will be Ferkin sweet  |
