Interesting error in the art work. The rear supports don't reach the ground, they should otherwise, what's the point. Also, from research I've done on the 6/2 the shields were usually removed. This saved weight, and there wasn't any need because they weren't used in ground combat, but at Luftwaffe sites.

I'm doing a review of the Bronco 6/2 3.7 cm Flak 36 that is quite similar. Should be ready in a week or so. I'm building it as my entry in the "shoots back" campaign.

Dave, I'm not sure what you are talking about with the rear supports in the boxart. All I see are a pair of collapsible step ladders which are right where they should be from a functional standpoint.

Nice review, Russ. Thanks for the kind words. This one's in my stash, but I had a bit of "Seven Syndrome" and have been building other things.

Thanks, Bill. I'm sure the aftermarket details to complete this kit will be available before too long. It will give you a good break to do your Abrams.
