the Jeep is an awfully strange-looking kettle of fish; the Opel flak platform is a useful addition.

Still looking into that. Seems there is a early and late version. Which might have something to do with that.
Also this isn't the first kit of this. F4 Models released a 72 scale version.

Also Düsenjäger released one in 48. Seems though no longer available.

Just found this. According to this page it is the engine configurations. One is an I-head and other is F-head.
