1/35 Flak 38, WWII German AA Gun
ICM 1/35 Flak 38 is a plastic kit of the German Second World War 20 mm anti-aircraft gun. It has 69 parts and decals for four options. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
In 1934 the Luftwaffe adopted the 20 mm Flak 30 anti-aircraft gun developed by Rheinmetall. Drawing on combat experience in Spain, the design was upgraded into the 2 cm Flak 38. It fired the same ammunition as the Flak 30, and the changes were aimed mainly at a higher rate of fire.
During the Second World War the Flak 38 became a standard close-range air defence weapon of the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe, also capable of engaging lightly armoured targets. A company of twelve guns formed part of the anti-tank battalion of infantry divisions, and armoured and motorised divisions had similar companies. Production continued until the end of the war.
The ICM kit in 1/35 scale has 69 parts. The decals cover four deployments: the Eastern Front in 1942, Italy in 1943, Western Ukraine in 1944 and East Prussia in 1945. The stand-alone gun works well as a firing position in a diorama or alongside vehicle models. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
