Dragon 7535 3.7cm FlaK 43 Flakpanzer IV "Ostwind" 1/72

The Dragon 7535 3.7cm FlaK 43 Flakpanzer IV "Ostwind" in 1/72 scale is a highly detailed model of the German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun used during World War II. The "Ostwind," based on the chassis of the Panzer IV tank, was created to enhance the protection of the Luftwaffe and ground units against Allied air attacks in the years 1944–1945. Only a limited number of this version were produced, mainly by Germany, where these vehicles saw service on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, including during the defense of the Reich in the final phase of the war.

This set features a hybrid plastic model kit with parts made using 3D printing technology as well as a set of photo-etched parts. The model’s greatest innovation is the turret with replicated structural details achieved through modern 3D printing techniques by Lexa Models. The kit includes a complete, fully detailed Ostwind turret and detailed gun shield components, making this set stand out among competitors for its precision and realism.
