Hello, can anyone point me in the direction of a website or pictures of the tactical markings found on an 88mm German AA gun ?

You mean like on the fenders? I don't recall if the gun shield has any (no wait...there's no shield on the AA version)

On the recoil-brake there might be unit/division markings on both sides, and there are kill-rings on the barrel.

Do a search for 1/32 models of these cannons.

From what I can find I don't believe the shields were actually marked (if it was installed on the Flak 36 at all) beyond camouflage.

Beyond kill marks and something on the recoil cylinder. You'll find unit markings and tyre pressure info on the mud guards of the wheels.

Not sure but perhaps there are a few "hier anfassen" marks on the fold-up parts of the base.

Oh well, I'll just make it up as usual then . I thought they used the upwards facing arrow with unit markings, but couldn't find anything on the net .

Does this mean we'll have a full-size, fully-working 88 at CR too? 8)

Thermal Grenades would also suffice!

To be fair anything over 20mm will give you a bad day in a tetrarch :)

20mm would go in one side and out the other. Given the armour on it, a 7.92mm AP would go through one side :shock:

About 14 mil a boys round isnt it...?

.50cal will go through most light armour (251/250/222 etc)

and the mg42 can shred a m3 halftrack.

thats about right I think. I cant remember the German and frog AT Rifles but they could match it as well. The tetrarch was build to Pre 1939 specs, but they continued making them after they realised they would have faily poor performance against the stuff they would be put up against.
