1/144 88mm Flak 36 'Desert' by Strategist 1-144Strategist have announced their latest release the 1/144 88mm Flak 36 and I have to say the detailing is excellent, the accuracy and representation is unrivalled! When looking at the photos, remember this is 144, not 1/72 or 1/35.
If you have any misgivings as the the quality and price, look at your Takara WTM-01 88mm and compare the detail and the price. It is composed of PU Resin, ABS Plastic and Alloy Metal components, and comes pre-painted
Make no mistake, it will be the calculated decision of the collector who purchases this item
I doubt that there will be any will be found on a war game table any time soon!

Looks very delicate ..... but the gun barrel very small and not in the correct scale, it looks like 75mm Pak i/o 88mm Flak.
ReplyDeleteFor the injection mould should not have this kind of miscalculate. What s pity .......
Are they nuts?! US$75.8 for 1pc? For this amount I can buy 3pcs of Dragon or Hobby master 1/72 diecast model.
ReplyDeleteWhatever how details of it, I will pass and I only care my pocket money.
Even the gun barrel not in the correct size but they have done the great job!!
ReplyDeleteThe price USD75 .......
As I know the injection mould should be cheaper like WTM and Cando releases. Let me check with them.
As far as I know, it is cast from PU resin, not injection moulded.
ReplyDeleteIt´s a fantastic piece- I have the grey, and I can say it´s one of the best pieces in 1/144 maded.
ReplyDeleteI know the project of this gy, and his work it´s fantastic and hard, not like others asian ´`easy way´` bad copies.
The price is Hight?, If the price would be the same than takara 88´s, I would be alot of them but of course are not the same.
