Details:

Recreate a versatile Second World War German anti-aircraft vehicle with a detailed plastic model kit of the Sd.Kfz. 140 Flakpanzer 38 “Gepard”. Built on the reliable chassis of the Czechoslovak-designed Panzer 38(t) light tank, this self-propelled Flak platform was developed to provide mobile air defence for Wehrmacht armoured units and marching columns.

The proven mechanical reliability and mobility of the 38(t) chassis provided an excellent base for mounting the 20 mm Flak 38 anti-aircraft gun on a rotating, shielded platform. This configuration allowed the crew to engage enemy aircraft while maintaining a degree of protection in combat conditions.

Although designed primarily for anti-aircraft defence, the Flakpanzer 38’s 20 mm gun was also frequently used against ground targets, including light fortifications and infantry positions, providing valuable close support for advancing troops.

Over time, this early self-propelled AA system was gradually replaced by more heavily armed vehicles such as the Wirbelwind and Ostwind, but it remains an important step in the evolution of German mobile air defence during WWII.

This kit includes link and length tracks, a decal sheet for four versions, and a full-colour instruction sheet for a detailed and flexible build experience.
