Trumpeter 01524 German 2cm Flakvierling 38 auf Selbstfahrlafette (1/35)

The Trumpeter 01524 German 2cm Flakvierling 38 auf Selbstfahrlafette model in 1/35 scale is an excellent choice for military enthusiasts and World War II history buffs. This is a plastic model kit that faithfully recreates the details of the self-propelled anti-aircraft platform armed with the famous quad-barrel 2cm Flakvierling 38 cannon, used by the German army.

The Flakvierling 38 (Flak-Vierling, meaning “quadruple”) is one of the most recognizable German anti-aircraft systems of the World War II era. Designed in 1940, its main purpose was to protect armored troops and transport columns from air attacks and lightly armored enemy vehicles alike. Mounted on self-propelled platforms—such as the Selbstfahrlafette represented in this model—it allowed for rapid movement and effective cover for advancing units.

Equipped with four coupled 20 mm caliber cannons, the Flakvierling 38 could deliver intense fire with impressive rate of fire, making it effective both as anti-aircraft and against ground targets. The Trumpeter kit faithfully replicates details such as the barrel system, armor shields, aiming mechanisms, and the characteristic running gear with mounting components. The model depicts a vehicle used by the Third Reich's army on European fronts from 1941 until the end of the war in 1945.
