TAMIYA model kit boxart with Horch PKW towing the 2cm FLAK38 trailer, with African-Yellow base color and long medium green stripes to break up vehicle pattern. This model has its rear travel compartments replaced with a FLAK gun platform. A FLAK30 gun from 1.35 ESCI Demag kit was used. Idea for this conversion came from Sheperd Paine's book Modeling Tanks and Military Vehicles, which showed a Horch PKW being converted in the same manner.

Note 5 model figures are wearing Waffen-SS camouflage smocks (alluded to by the SS license plates), but this can be easily remedied by painting on Luftwaffe collar patches and changing the license plates to WL-prefix.

Back in the 1970s, Sheperd Paine created various model dioramas for Monogram modeling company. His ability to scratch-built modeling parts from common household items impressed many youthful modelers (including yours truly), such as soaking tissue paper with Elmer's glue to create a tarpin or bedroll and hollowing out backend of plastic models to create realistic battle damage.

Rollover : Photo of Horch PKW in North Africa with FLAK38 mounted directly onto the travel compartment to give a makeshift mobile firepower. Note Halkenkruez + Palm Tree insignia, which was the marking for the Deutsches Afrika Korps (German Africa Corps). Afrika Korps - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrika_Korps

Halkenkruez (Halken Cross) is the German term for Swastika, derived from the ancient Indian Sanskrit word Svastika representing a sun wheel. Many words from Indian language of Hindi have been adopted into modern English vernacular due to 300 years of British colonial presence. Swastikas are commonly used in Asian Buddhist rites, all be it somewhat politically sensitive here in the West. Swastikas - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastikas

During the late 1930s German Nazis dispatched cultural and anthropology missions to Tibet to establish a cultural and historical link with this ancient civilization (since both Nazis and Tibetan Buddhists viewed Swastika as important symbolism). When questioned why such anthropology missions were important to Aryans and Reich, German Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels replied that great civilizations leave great historical marks, when the civilization no longer exists, their mark in history remains.
