Why this kit matters
Anti-aircraft units such as the 20 mm Flak 38 served a key role in Luftwaffe and Heer ground-based air defence throughout WWII, providing rapid fire support against low-flying aircraft and often serving as dual‐purpose weapons. The 20 mm Flak 38 featured in many theatres and is a popular subject for modellers seeking lesser-shown aspects of war.
Including realistic crew figures adds narrative depth to model displays: instead of just the gun alone, you present the operators, their gear and their stance in action. At 1 : 35 scale the figures balance detail with display size, making them ideal companions for tanks, artillery or diorama bases. Modellers appreciate such sets because they fill the human element in scale modelling.
How to use it
Carefully remove parts from the sprues, clean any mould lines, and assemble each figure using plastic model cement. Paint uniforms, equipment and skin tones with suitable acrylic or enamel paints (not included). Once painted and dry, place the figures around your Flak gun or in a diorama scene. Display your finished work proudly at home or in your collection cabinet.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
