With its reliable design and high rate of fire (up to 480 rounds per minute), it was an effective means of close-range air defence in the Wehrmacht, and its production continued until the end of World War II. In addition to targeting aircraft, the gun could also be used against lightly armoured targets. To increase mobility, anti-aircraft guns were often mounted on various vehicles, both wheeled and semi-tracked. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne such vehicle was the semi-tracked version of the widely used Wehrmacht truck, the V3000S, which was designated as Sd.Kfz.3b (also known as the V3000S\/SSM). The anti-aircraft guns were mounted in the vehicle’s bed and could be placed either on special platforms or without them. For firing, the sides of the vehicle’s body were either folded down or completely removed. Vehicles equipped in this way became self-propelled anti-aircraft installations, which the German Army used for air defence tasks across all fronts during World War II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWehrmacht self-propelled anti-aircraft system featuring a 2 cm Flak 38 gun mounted on Sd.Kfz.3b half-track truck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle can be built in transport of combat configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable gun elevation and optional armour shields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes markings for both Sd.Kfz.3b vehicle and 2 cm Flak 38 gun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings Available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSd.Kfz.3b with 2 cm Flak 38 AA Gun (camouflage colour version), 1944-1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSd.Kfz.3b with 2 cm Flak 38 AA Gun (winter colour version), 1944-1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1:35\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Parts:\u003cstrong\u003e 245\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength:\u003cstrong\u003e 212\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight:\u003cstrong\u003e 93 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox size: \u003cstrong\u003e294 x 230 x 58 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembly Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anti-Aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNation:\u003c\/strong\u003e German\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1939-1945 - World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM35455\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied unassembled and unpainted.
