Afrikakorps

I am currently attempting to build a 1/35th scale Opel Blitz Gun-Truck sporting a 20mm flak38 on the bed. I had originally thought that I would decal this vehicle as one from the 15th or 21st Panzer Divisions but now am unsure.
Can any of you advise me of another unit posessing the 20mm flak38 (which I believe was quite common) that would be worthy of depicting in this upcomning diorama? Infantry, Luftwaffe or Kriegsmarine is fine as long as they had both the OpelBlitz and the flak38 in their aresenal. Comments, Suggestions, FU's or whatevers are welcomed and encouraged.

Thanks,
razorboy

Gone with the 15th Pz.Div. markings...I think that'll work.

Thanks LT,

Re: Afrikakorps

That should be fine. What about the 90th Light? Did they have that weapon
available?

I'm not sure but I don't see why not. Being a field modifiation I'm sure they had at least one hanging around somewhere!

Re: Afrikakorps

Yeah you're right. In fact any head wear sucks when it's that hot. I always wondered how those poor souls sat inside a tank in heat like that. In summer here, even sitting in a car is a weight-loss proposition.
