WWII German 20mm Flakvierling 38
Manufacture Product Number : TAM-32554 | Originally developed as a light anti-aircraft weapon for the Kriegsmarine, the German army also adopted the 20mm cannon for use on land and was widely used throughout World War II. To compensate for the cannon’s low rate of fire, 4 of these cannons were mounted together to create the Flakvierling 38. The mount featured collapsible seats, ammo cartridge racks, a three-legged base, and could be rotated via hand wheels, with the guns themselves fired via two foot pedals, each of which controlled a pair of diametrically opposed cannons. In basic form, the Flakvierling 38 was loaded onto a two-wheeled mount for towing to deployment points, but it was also fitted onto halftracks, tank chassis, ships, barges, and trains to provide close-range air defense against Allied fighter-bombers.High quality 1/48 scale assembly model kit of the German Flakvierling 38 anti-aircraft gun. Quad-20mm cannons are linked to gunsight. Guns can be freely elevated/depressed and gun pedestal can be rotated to enable various firing positions. Parts are included for the trailer, enabling the gun to be towed by 1/48 scale vehicles such as TMY32534 6x4 Krupp Protze. Includes four figures in realistic poses as well as detailed accessories such as ammunition boxes and magazines. Excellent as a stand-alone diorama piece or as a component in larger displays. |
