German Krupp 15cm Flak Gerät 50 3D model/printed

Post by EPOCH3 » 06 Jul 2020 15:23

I am always amazed at what the German military designers were working on
prior to WWII. Krupp was Prototyping the 15cm Flak Gerät 50 back in 1937/1938.
I wonder what the US Military folks would have said seeing this futuristic 15cm, auto
loading Flak gun in 1937? This is a WIP as I am trying to figure out how the auto loader
and auto fuze setting parts might have worked. When finished, I will post some 3D printed
model pics.

There is a resin kit available that has been out a couple of years now. That kit was made in
the conventional way by a master builder using white styrene etc. I did most of the 3D model
about 10/12 years ago but recently decided to finish it and include some corrections
and additional detail etc.

Have fun and happy modeling.

Here is the flatwagon for the 15cm Flak Kp and what it would have looked like with gun mounted
.

As I know, There are also Gerät 50, Gerät 55 and Gerät 60.
Do you have plan to make the 3d model of them.
Your Gerät 50 is impressed.
Would you sell the model in 1/72 for overseas?

I am working on a Gerät 60 (currently no plans to market it though) - There was/is a Gerät 50 in 1/72nd scale that was on the market already (built to basically the same set of plans). I don't usually build in that scale so I don't know if it's still around or not.

Absolutely fantastic work! Have you heard of Shapeways? https://www.shapeways.com/
It's an option for you to sell your 3D projects...make some money...

Wow, I'm looking forward to your Gerät 60.
Could you tell me the link of 1/72 Gerät 50?
I want to get one.
Thanks a lot ;)
