Hi Phil, I always thought the canon on the flak gun was much longer than the one on the tiger. Are they the same?

Internally very similar as you would expect Brian, I would need to do some turing to the outside diameters.

I think I'm ok posting photos of our 88 so long as I don't show my own parts? I do hope the 88 is re-released as it's a great piece.

Is this cable the correct diameter? I've been told that it wasn't just coms cable as it linked together the other guns in the battery gun laying devices .
