HobbyBoss 1:35 - Flakpanzer IA w/Ammo Trailer
£32.00 GBP
The German term Flakpanzer was used for "anti-aircraft tanks" - modified tanks that were intended to target aircraft. The Flakpanzer I was a conversion of the Panzer I Ausf. A tank. It was developed in 1941 with an aim to create a mobile anti-aircraft vehicle that could follow the Panzer divisions.
The Flakpanzer I was armed with the 2 cm FlaK 38 L/112.5. The vehicle was capable of towing a Sonderanhänger 51 trailer which carried ammunition and spare barrels. The Flakpanzer I had a high rate of fire and accuracy, but it proved to be more useful against ground targets other than aircraft and was used mainly for infantry support. The insufficient armour resulted in high casualties and the only battalion that was equipped with the Flakpanzer I's was wiped out during the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943.
This kit includes clear parts and photo-etched parts.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German 2cm Flak 38 Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t)
£31.00 GBP
The Flak 38(t) was a German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun of the Second World War. An improved version of the Flak 30, it was widely used by different German forces. Rheinmetall created the Flak 38 in order to improve the fire rate of the Flak 30. The Flak 38 had a fire rate of 220 rpm (compared to 120 rpm of its predecessor) and much lower weight. In 1939, the Flak 38 was recognised as the standard Army gun, but later on Mauser came up with its even lighter modification, the Gebirgsflak 38, which could be easily used against both air and surface targets.
