1/35 Achtung! Sie fliegen!
ICM 1/35 Achtung! Sie fliegen! is a plastic kit of the Sd.Kfz.3b half-track truck with a 2 cm Flak 38 gun and four figures. It has 402 parts. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Early in the Second World War the Wehrmacht began fielding the 2 cm Flak 38 anti-aircraft gun. Its reliable design and high rate of fire made it an effective short-range air defence weapon, and besides aircraft it could also engage lightly armoured targets. A full crew numbered five soldiers, although four or even three men could operate the gun effectively.
To make it more mobile, the Flak 38 was mounted in the cargo beds of various wheeled and half-tracked vehicles. One of them was the half-track version of the widely used V3000S truck, designated Sd.Kfz.3b (V3000S/SSM). The gun stood on a special platform or directly in the bed, whose sides were folded down or removed for firing, turning the truck into a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun used for air defence and infantry fire support.
The ICM set in 1/35 scale has 402 parts, and the finished model measures approximately 183 × 76 mm. Alongside the vehicle and gun it includes four crew figures, giving a complete scene of the crew in action. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
