Product DescriptionDirectly after the demonstration of the experimental Geraet 400 in 1939, the Luftwaffe was ordered to be mounted on the 8-ton Zugkraftwagen chassis. The Flak 38-Vierling was secured with a central pivot shield and crew cab, which were introduced as protection against shell fragments and small arms fire. The first series of 100 were completed from April 1940 through mid-1941. Continuing at a low rate of 10 per month in early 1942, production accelerated in August 1942 to meet the increased threat of Allied air power. By the end of the war, about 800 were produced. This plastic model kit is an accurate representation of the military vehicle.From the ManufacturerDirectly after the demonstration of the experimental Geraet 400 in 1939, the Luftwaffe was ordered to be mounted on the 8-ton Zugkraftwagen chassis.
