The Ostwind carried a single 3.7cm FlaK43 gun, which was rather more effective than the less powerful 2cm guns of the Wirbelwind, and also needed less space in the turret, as well as only needing a crew of two (gunner and loader) in place of the gunner and two loaders of the quadruple guns. Like the Wirbelwind the Ostwind had a distinctive angular turret, this time six sided, and with the gun emerging from a slot in the pointed front of the turret. After trials in July, on 18 August 1944 Ostbau were given a contract to produce 100 Ostwind Is. Less than half of these vehicles would be produced the first fifteen of the eventual total of forty-three were completed in December 1944, far too late to have any impact on the war.\u003cbr\u003eItem No : 01520\u003cbr\u003eItem Name : German 3.7cm Flak 43 Flakpanzer IV Ostwind\u003cbr\u003eBar Code : 9580208015200\u003cbr\u003eScale : 1:35\u003cbr\u003eItem Type : Static Armor\u003cbr\u003eModel Brief : Length: 168mm Width: 83.7mm Height: 86mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal Parts : 854pcs\u003cbr\u003eMetal Parts : n\/a\u003cbr\u003ePhoto Etched Parts : 1pcs\u003cbr\u003eFilm Parts : n\/a\u003cbr\u003eResin Parts : n\/a\u003cbr\u003eTotal Sprues : 21 sprues plus lower hull, upper hull\u003cbr\u003ePaint Schemes : Flakpanzer IV Ostwind\"in Dark Yellow with Red Brown and Green camouflage scheme\u003cbr\u003eReleased Date : 2009-06\u003cbr\u003eMore Features \": Summary\u003cbr\u003eThe Flakpanzer IV \"\"Ostwind\"\" was a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun based on the Panzer IV tank.
