Why this kit matters
The Flak Towers were massive anti-aircraft gun platforms built by Nazi Germany during World War II. The G Tower at the Berliner Zoo was one of the most famous, serving as both a military installation and an air raid shelter for civilians. These towers were formidable structures, heavily armed and designed to withstand Allied bombing raids. They represent a unique and controversial aspect of wartime Berlin, symbolizing both German military power and the suffering of the civilian population.
This model kit allows you to accurately depict a significant and imposing structure from WWII. The sheer size and detail of the Flak Tower make it a truly impressive display piece. Building this kit provides insight into the scale and intensity of the air war over Europe.
