This is the AFV Club 1/35 searchlight - or Flakscheinwurfer according to the box. It is a detailed model kit of a WW2 German searchlight but I intend to build it as an Imperial Guard emplacement. It may be a freestanding model, or I may put it on a small diorama base as an objective.
Here's a review of the kit from the Perth Military Modelling Club.
It cost about AUD $30 from a local toy shop, which is comparable to Forgeworld Sabre Platform searchlight kit in resin. (GBP 17.60 or about AUD $35 at the time I write this, plus postage.) The Sabre Platform can be found on this page; pics of that kit on various vehicles are here.
Note: I first read the box label as "Flakschweinwurfer" which I took to mean "Antiaircraftpigthrower" or somesuch. The sentiment seemed appropriate.
