    AB appear to do every variant of a 8.8cm FlaK crew apart from a bog standard non-winter army one.  Is this correct?  If this is indeed the case does anyone have a view on which manufacturer would be the next best?  Thanks.

    I may be mistaken, but I could have sworn that I painted a standard Army 88 crew for Mike Hickling when he ran the UK manufacturing side of AB.  Perhaps the masters for that set never got to Nic or needed re-mastering, or simply got lost down the back of the sofa?  Or perhaps my memory is just hazy and I’m conflating the Army PaK 40 crew with the SS 88 crew…?

    I can’t see an army ‘88’ crew listed on Fighting 15s website, nor on AB Australia.  Difficult to imagine that they never considered making a set though.

    Agreed.  Unfortunately, alcohol has killed a lot of braincells in the intervening 10 years… 🙁 Piers Brand would probably know for certain if such a set existed.

    I thought about Piers’ work and fortunately I managed to find the very post I was looking for.  This is the vehicle that I want the crew for.

    And there’s the answer.  Converted AB figures plus some SHQ.
