Historical information and use

This model represents an experimental German project in which a 20mm Flakvierling 38 anti-aircraft gun was mounted on the chassis of a Panther G tank. Vehicles like these were the result of efforts to create effective, self-propelled anti-aircraft weapons for Wehrmacht armored units towards the end of World War II. Prototypes were built in 1944, but the design did not enter mass production or wide combat use, remaining a technological curiosity of the era.
