I decided to make this conversion in the mi of1990s. I have had Pz.iB by Zvezda, Flak 38 by Tamiya and drawings of poor quality printed in M-Hobby magazine.
No aftermarket. No instructions. No good photos. And a little bit of experience.
My first attempt finished with a strange result: Flakpanzer made from converted base of Pz.IB and Flak 38 was not similar to photos! The main problem was a "long nose".
Two decades later I discovered the good photos and drawings and realized my mistake: it was upper hull detail. It consists of two parts Instead of mine single detail. It meant I had to reconstruct my Flakpanzer.
I used photoetched and compound parts, white metal tracks. Trailer I took from the new kit by Tristar (it already was realized to this time).
My Flakpanzer has several mismatches to photos, but photos and drawings are very different.
