AA Guns in the Snow

Versuchsflakwagen fur 8.8cm Flak 41 or as we know it the Roco Grille Z-105 model was a self propelled gun made in late World War Two by the Germans.  Only three were produced, however the same gun mount and shield was used as a ground mounted gun in both the anti-aircraft and anti-tank role as early as 1943 in Tunisia. 

I have converted 12 into ground mounts to use with my German troops. 

Over 300 of them were built during the war.

I am also making a few to paint in desert scheme for my Germans in Tunisia.

The crew figures here are from Caesar Miniatures.

Platoons of four guns, with a company of three platoons for a total of 12 guns.

Figures are from several different sets of Caesar Miniatures as well as a couple from Odemars, all in 1/72nd scale.
