    Hi Jay, the one on the right looks like an 88mm to me.

    I can only really see the wheel of the one on the left, so no idea on that one sorry.

    Cheers, Ade.

    Hi Jay.

    Like Ade, I can only see a wheel on the right hand pic. The other one is either a Flak 36/37 or possibly a Flak 18 88mm AA/AT gun.
    Looking at the gun shield I would be tempted to swing towards Flak 36.
    As usual, I am willing to stand corrected if proven wrong.

    Regards etc

    Hi guys.

    Got to change my reply to this.

    I have just done a re-check and I am convinced that the gun in pic 2 is actually an early Flak 18 AA/AT gun and NOT Flak 36/37.

    I checked against Achtung Panzer! - 88mm Flak Series
    This has a photo of two of these at Aberdeen PG, one early and one late Flak 18s and if you look at the early one it clearly shows the same type of mudguards and similar gunshield as the one in the photo 2.

    Sorry guys, I should have double checked my references earlier.

    Regards etc

    Ian

    Hi Ian I agree it certainly looks like the early flak 18. Nice one for that. Jay.
