Does anyone have any information at all about these? On other sites I have tracked down enough information to know that between 20 - 50 of these were produced and that most, if not all, were snapped up by an SS officer. Were any of these used in the DAK? Italy? So far all I have found is one picture and it shows 2 destroyed vehicles (hardly recognizable).
seem to have been a mixed bag for the Germans, especially those with the 2cm Flak 38 mounts. While they did provide some AA protection, they also drew special attention from Allied fighter-bombers, so their combat life was not great. The only information I found on these was the stuff on the Leadwarrior website. I'm also building one of these Flak 38 vehicles, but I am going to have a new Steyr 1500/2000 chassis cast in resin, as I have at least 8-10 vehicles to build on this chassis type. Some of these will be the extended version.
