Product Description

[About the actual vehicle]
--At the end of World War II, the German army lost air superiority, and tanks and other ground troops suffered from air attacks by Allied fighters.
--To deal with this, the German army has developed various self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles equipped with anti-aircraft guns.
-One of them is the Kugelblitz, an anti-aircraft tank that uses the body of the Panzer IV and is equipped with a dedicated turret.
-Unlike many anti-aircraft vehicles, it was a major feature that it was equipped with the first fully sealed turret of the German army.
--Initially, it was planned to develop an anti-aircraft tank by mounting the 3 cm twin anti-aircraft turret developed to equip the U-boat on the Panzer IV, but the design of the turret needs to be changed, and a new dedicated turret is required. The turret was built.
――The turret was characterized by a unique double structure equipped with a completely sealed turret and an armor plate that surrounds it 360 degrees.
――There, two 3cm anti-aircraft guns FlaK 103/38 are installed in parallel.
――It boasts an effective range of 5700 m and a rate of fire of 880 shots / minute, and its destructive power was large, but unfortunately production did not proceed due to the violent air raids of the Allied Forces, and its power was not fully demonstrated. It was the end of the war.

[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the German anti-aircraft tank of World War II, the IV anti-aircraft tank 3 cm Kugelblitz, which has a unique style, on a 1/35 scale.
――The turret of interest is modeled in detail not only in the appearance of the double structure, which is full of sci-fi charm, but also in the details inside.
-Even after completion, the turret can be swiveled 360 degrees, and the double-barreled 3 cm anti-aircraft gun FlaK 103/38 can move up and down the barrel.
-The muzzle brake with a unique shape at the tip of the barrel is also accurately reproduced, enhancing the reality of the finish.
-The body parts are Panzer IV. The upper part of the car body, which has been modified to match the Kugelblitz turret with the turret ring diameter, is pursuing accuracy with special parts along with the hatch.
――In addition, the details of the engine deck and fenders, as well as equipment such as in-vehicle tools and spare wheels are delicately expressed.
――In addition to realistically reproducing the suspension, the track uses a prefabricated magic track.
――The Kugelblitz, which shows a unique style, is one that you definitely want to add to the collection of the Panzer IV tank family.
