I have got a blister of ge550 88 flak 36. Attached to the sprue with the cable rolls for the wheel units is what looks like a big woven mat. What is this? What is it used for? It looks similar texture to ammo cases. Thanks. Leigh |

That could be it. So is it just an open ammo case? What are they made of? What colour should I be painting it? |

I had presumed it was the top of an ammo box (and would be just as interested as you to find out the correct colour/material). |

The Germans often used mats to lay the ready ammo on to keep them dirt free prior to loading. |
