I know that not many were made during the war but it is kind of an iconic model I remember building as a kid. Given I am tired of Forward Air Observers in Bolt Action games bringing down P-51's or Thunderbolts onto my German Forces I thought bringing in an anti-air craft tank would give the American players something to think about. |

Warlord has a Quad 20mm towed version, which would works desired and cost less points than the whole tank. |

Company B has a conversion kit for a wirbelwind. |

I second the Company B one. I have two of them that I mated with JTFM Panzer IV's. |

Thanks gang, snurl1, yep, I discovered the Quad 20 from Warlord a little latter after I had posted this thread. It takes up the artillery slot for a typical reinforced platoon leaving the option to still take a tank of some type. However, I am going to look into the Company B conversion kit. Thanks for that info Battle Phlox and Disco Joe. |

Just be aware that if you do want to pair the conversion kit with the JTFM tank, JTFM's fulfillment ranges from incredibly slow to downright glacial. He does super work, but is beyond overextended. |

Look on ebay there are some that you used to be able to get at walmart for $10. USD |

I also mounted one on a Warlord chassis no problem. |

The Company B conversion kit fits the plastic Warlord Panzer IV quite nicely (and the T-34 in case you wanted to make one of the Flakpanzerwagen T-34 conversions) |

I have a West Wind 'Berlin or Bust' Wirbelwind. It is Resin and Metal. I can provide some pics if need be, although I haven't got around to building it yet. |

Obsidian, What is that piece betwen the gun's body and the guns? It looks like a floor board, but I could never get it to fit inside the turret. I could only get 1 gunner inside also, there isn't enough room for 3. But I have been thinking of cutting off the 2 loader heads and glueing them next to the gun. |
