how suitable would those figures be for a Mobelwagen? or would Mobelwagen crews be wearing panzer uniforms?

*edit* oh wait, It doesen't mention anything about figures... It does however describe the quad-barreled version. hmm...

Sorry Guys,

I think the crew is not included. :( The kit contains only 36 pieces and that's on the low-end for a detailed flak with sd.ah.51. A price of $15.95 is also to low for a gun with a crew.

But Hey, I am sure they're gonna come out with the crew separately. Just like they did with the flak 36/37.

It would be the first Luftwaffe (with the Fliegerbluse) gun crew on the market, so I really hope the do it!

I don't know if I will buying one of these or not. I still have several of the older Tamiya ones and the newer Tristar one looks fantastic. Now if there was the Luftwaffe crew included(which I do not think is) I would definately grab at least one.

Interesting, I wonder if this means a 251/17 is coming, now that they have the flak gun for it. Or a Flakpanzer? Amba, I believe the "36 pieces per master carton" refers to the number of kits in the crate they send to the distributor, since Dragon USA deals in wholesale to retailers. So maybe the crew is included? It would be cool.

36 pieces does mean how many boxes to a master carton.

Another Flakpanzer? :(

Tristar has announced their Flakpanzer is coming...why we need the same Flakpanzer from different producer :(

I love to see a NEW Sd. Kfz 7 with the Flak gun... ;)

Hi Flak,

I doubt they are the same one. Tristar is the Flakpanzer I which was a field conversion used by one unit. The Flak 38 was mounted on the Panzer I Ausf A.

The Flakpanzer that Dragon MAY do is the Flakpanzer 38 based on the Panzer 38 (t) chassis. Dragon does not have a Panzer I Ausf A in their lineup and use the Master Box kit on the Dragon USA Online site.

However, they have announced the Panzer 38 (t) series and happily, no one is accusing them of copying another companies expected release schedule... :angry:

OK I am off my soap box. :lol:

Hmm, hadn't heard about that. My comment about the flakpanzer and 251/17 was merely speculation on my part, it will be interesting to see what we get next year! ;)

The Dragon Armor club has the poster for this one up now. Looks like a pretty nice kit, but I didn't see anything about figures though.

I stand corrected, Dragon is indeed doing the same Flakpanzer I as Tristar. Now I wonder if they are tooling a new hull or merely using the MasterBox kit for their Imperial series.
