Producer  Modell Trans Modellbau,  Germany

Type of kit resin castings + turned brass barrel
Quality This conversion set is designed for both Revell Pz.IV kits. It includes completely new upper part of the hull, armoured sides and parts for 3,7 cm Flak 43 gun all well moulded and perfectly cast of resin. You just have to cut parts of sprue blocks and clean fine resin film that covers some of them.

The detailed barrel of the gun turned form brass came form Shatton production.

I would personally welcome also etched basket for cartridges but I  can't have everything. Anyway I'm not sure is all Möbelwagens have it.:-)

Instruction sheet simple graphic instructions
Decals not
General Impression & Note According my opinion this set is very well done. It let us make best of good Revell plastic kits and build nice model of AA tank using this conversion set.

The parts and the instructions shows that only tank can be built with armoured sides in "transport - closed" position only.

Germans produced totally 240 /other source tells 205 only/of these Flakpanzers since spring 1944til end of the war and they were delivered mostly to SS units.

Interesting is that final assemblage of "Möbelwagenù" was done in Prague!
