In search of 2cm Flakvierling 38 walkarounds

[Allan Williams]

Hi All,
I was recently trying to organize my Flakvierling reference and realized how scant it is. Not referring to published reference, but detailed walkarounds of the many Flakvierlings throughout the world.
Searches of the web and boards came up with surprisingly little, with the only really decent one being here in the galleries of Koblenz's SdKfz 7/1.
If anyone can point me towards, or would care to share, walkarounds they may have of any of these, or any other, mounts it would be greatly appreciated.

Of all these mounts, I would be very interested in seeing more of this unknown example



Saumur



Koblenz (upstairs display)



Koblenz (Sd Kfz 7/1)



Unknown museum (would be very interested in more of this mount)



Unknown outdoor display



Brussels Museum



Uknown Naval Artillery display



Unknown Vierling which I believe is in the US



Outdoor Russian display



Unknown late pattern mount



Another unknown mount



Cheers
Allan

Nice collation of the available "real" items out there. It made mr think about an idea I had yesterday about listing all the models and aftermarket available for a typical subject such as Panzer Is etc. Maybe you could research and list all the kits andPE etc available for this anti aircraft gun. I was thinking of making a section dedicated to that.o

Allan, take a look at my little website; in section 2 WALKAROUNDS you can find some links:

James, Terry's page has a list to start:

G'day fellas, thanks for your responses.
Jamie, unfortunately these are only a small sample of the surviving 2cm Flakvierlings, although there's certainly a decent range included. I haven't built a 1/35 kit since I was a kid so certainly aren't the best person compare the variety of kits available.
Dario, I came across your page whilst I was searching but unfortunately none of the links provide the kind of detail I was hoping for.
Considering the amount of surviving examples out there, and the number of enthusiasts, there's got to be alot of people out there with detailed walkarounds. It's just a matter of them being bothered to share them.
Cheers

There is a small walkaround at www.DISHMODELS.RU
It is missing the sight.

I wonder if the flakverling used the same sight that was used on the MIT?? Anyone know?

[Allan Williams]

G'day James,
I came across that one during my search also. That it's missing the optics doesn't really matter.
Excuse my ignorance, but what's the MIT?

Cheers

I meant the 2cm Flak 38 mit Sd.Ah.51
Single cannon, not quad.
I have seen detailed photographs of the sight for this, but not for the flakvierling (quad).
I thought since they are similar, that perhaps they would use the identical sight.

[Allan Williams]

You're right James, the three main sights used by the 2cm Flak 38 were the same as those used on the Flakvierling 38.

Cheers
Allan
