Another little what-if that I couldn´t look past: A Flakpanzer with 5,5cm guns! The 5,5cm Gerät 58 was a late war German anti aircraft gun that missed going into mass production by a number of faktors. Yet, both Rheinmetall-Borsig and Krupp submitted turret proposals for fitting two guns on the Panther chassis.
I am aware, that Panther chassis were quite valuable and not often used for non frontline combat tanks, yet in my mind it would make sense for a valuable weapon system as such as the 5,5 cm to be mounted on an adequately protected chassis.
So much for the theory, let´s see when I get to building it!
I also decided to go for a little vignette for this one, set in an industrial setting.
