Based on the Czech-designed 38(t) Ausf.M chassis with mid-mounted   engine, the fighting compartment was mounted at the rear of the vehicle. The   Flakpanzer was armed with a single 2cm FlaK38 cannon of L\/112.5 caliber, and   was supplied with 1040 ammunition rounds onboard. As an interim Flakpanzer design,   it had obvious inadequacies such as limited armor protection for the crew and   a lack of firepower from the small main armament. Thus, BMM only produced 141   such vehicles between November 1943 and February 1944. Many of them saw combat   on the Western Front in units like the 12th SS Panzer Division “Hitlerjugend.”   The top armored sections could fold down to allow 360^(o) traverse of the cannon   at low elevations. This also meant the weapon could be used against ground targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDragon has created a Late Production model of the Flakpanzer 38(t) auf Selbstfahrlafette   38(t) Ausf.M in 1\/35 scale. This tracked kit has some stunning detail, and features   a highly accurate miniature replica of the FlaK38 cannon. The cannon can be   displayed with the gun elevated at 0 ^(o), 20 ^(o), 40 ^(o) or 60^(o), and it   also features new hand wheels and gun-sight bracket. The gun barrel is slide   molded, which enables incorporation of a hollow muzzle. Just like the real vehicle,   modelers can depict the fighting compartment armored shields raised or lowered.   The spent-shell case is made from photo-etched metal, and Dragon’s patented   Magic Tracks take the bore out of assembling the track runs. This is a fine   model of a late-production version of the Flakpanzer 38(t), and it will look   impressive in any vignette or diorama. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dragon Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41242262864028,"sku":"DR6590","price":72.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/products\/C_DRA6590_00_da50d8b7-23b4-420b-9ea2-d5be634bedcd.jpg?v=1649287380","url":"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/products\/dragon-6590-1-35-flak-38t-ausf-m-late-production-smart-kit","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
