It's been a long wait for Tristar's latest kit, the Flakpanzer 38t. And no, it's not called "Gepard".
Love the boxart. It's done by Yuji Asano. Asano-san painted the box art for the Marder IIIH as well. It looks much better than the in the photo.
I was expecting the box to be the same size as the other 38t's but Tristar has gone for a larger box. It's now the same box size as the Pz IVs.
The kit includes 16 sprues, a large PE fret and a metal tow cable. Four of the sprues are new. The rest comes from the 38t Full Interior set, 2cm Flak late version, 2cm Ammunition and Accessories set and the tracks and supension from the 38t series.
The release of this kit has been delayed as Tristar was tweaking some of the details. It has been improved from the test shots that were posted on PMMS.
Sprue shots will follow shortly.
