1/35 Self-propelled AA guns of the Wehrmacht
ICM 1/35 Self-propelled AA guns of the Wehrmacht is a set of three plastic kits of German anti-aircraft vehicles: the Kfz.4, the Kfz.70 and the Sd.Kfz.3b with a Flak 38. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The first self-propelled anti-aircraft weapons in the German army appeared as early as the First World War – Ehrhardt and Krupp-Daimler armoured vehicles with 77 mm guns. As aviation developed, their role in protecting ground units grew, and in the Second World War the Wehrmacht fielded many types armed with twin machine guns and automatic cannon.
Twin 7.92 mm MG 34 machine guns on cross-country passenger cars protected infantry from enemy aircraft. Automatic cannon were mounted on wheeled and half-tracked trucks; one of them was the Sd.Kfz.3b, the half-track version of the V3000S truck, with a 2 cm Flak 38 in its cargo bed. To fire, the sides were folded down or removed completely. Self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles served on both the Western and Eastern Fronts.
The 410 × 260 × 55 mm box holds three kits with 254, 241 and 402 parts: the wheeled Kfz.4 and Kfz.70 with twin MG 34 and the half-tracked Sd.Kfz.3b with a Flak 38. Together they make a complete anti-aircraft group for a diorama. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
