Eduard 35451 Zimmerit Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind 1/35 Tamiya – photo-etched metal set

Eduard 35451 Zimmerit Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind in 1/35 scale is a high-quality, professional photo-etched set designed for Tamiya models. This set is dedicated to the legendary German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind from World War II. This specialist fret allows you to recreate the effect of zimmerit coating that protected armored vehicles from magnetic mines, used by the Germans from 1943 mainly on the Eastern and Western Fronts.

The Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind model is based on the Panzer IV tank hull and entered service in the German army between 1944 and 1945. It was distinguished by its characteristic open turret armed with a quadruple 20 mm Flakvierling 38 anti-aircraft gun. The Wirbelwind was used for engaging aerial targets as well as providing fire support for ground forces. These vehicles were most commonly seen on the Western Front during the final months of World War II, especially during the battles in Normandy and the Ardennes.

The Eduard 35451 fret is precisely etched from high-grade metal, which ensures superb detail and perfect reproduction of the zimmerit texture. It enables modellers to realistically enhance their Tamiya model with an authentic, three-dimensional anti-magnetic coating pattern, without the need for laborious sculpting with modelling putty.
