Hi, it should be included, they already makes the FLAK 43 and offer it separately. The quality seems good at first sight but I have not done any research to check the accuracy.

The Mobelwagen is not a complex conversion. I hope Vandra took some basic measurements and get it right. In any cases, I am always happy to see new Vandra offers.

Thanks for sharing Louis, they look well detailed and constructed. Here's hoping their accuracy has improved compared to their previous offerings. ;)

A self-propelled B-4 howitzer is certainly an interesting conversion, one for those times where the ISU-152's 40 kilo HE shell just won't cut it and you need one that weighs 100 kilos instead. The Soviets never really believed in such a thing as overkill, did they?

Overkill is not something that I think exists in the Russian language, witness the 50 megaton Tsar bomb they tested over Mityuishika. Apparently its power was equal to all the munitions Russia used in the second world war. 8O :crazy:

Yes. Apparently the Russian philosophy is if something is worth killing, it's worth REALLY killing.
