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. |
