The Takom 6004 Flak Tower I Berliner Zoo G Tower in 1/350 scale is a unique proposition for history enthusiasts and fans of World War II military subjects. The set represents the famous Berlin anti-aircraft tower Flakturm I G-Turm, commonly known as the “Zoo Tower,” located on the grounds of the Berlin Zoological Garden.

Historical Facts – Flakturm I

The Flakturm I tower was constructed between 1940 and 1941 and was located in the western part of Berlin. It was part of a complex of anti-aircraft towers used for defence against Allied air raids during World War II. The “Zoo Tower” served both as a powerful platform for anti-aircraft artillery (including 128 mm Flak 40 guns) and as a shelter—it could accommodate up to 15,000 civilians during bombings. The tower operated until the end of the war, playing an important role in the final days of the Battle of Berlin.
