I have copied this topic from Dario's build to start a topic dedicated to the topic of the sights used on this gun, so some posts that don't fit have been eliminated(they remain in the original topic thread viewtopic.php?f=18&t=227 in works in progress) Here are the sources that Dario mentions.

Hi everybody: in the Concord's book "German Artillerie at War" by Frank De Sisto, page 11, second pic, can be seen an instrument panel being manipulated by a crew. Ok, now the question:
that panel must be in ALL the 2cm flakvierling 38?
Dragon Sd.Kfz. 7/1 doesn't provide such part and I can't find more pics of it
Thanks

Thanks James!

Seems that Tamiya did the same thing does. This has a later gun-sight.


If you need it the Griffon set seems to have it

a picture from the one in the gallery.
no control panel. Perhaps you can dig into this for us and find out how many versions of the gun there was?

[Jamie Tainton]

a scan from a book shows that there is no such panel on this one

[Dario Risso]

When a wrote "to build or not to built" I'm referring to scrachtbuild (or not) the Flakvisier 38/40 and then the control panel That will make my model "different" from others

Thanks Jamie!!!
