Italeri 96461 1/35 SdKfz. 140 Flakpanzer 38 Gepard
LINK AND LENGTH TRACKS - DECALS SHEET FOR 4 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET
The Sd. Kfz. 140 Flakpanzer 38 ''Gepard'' self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle was developed during World War II using the chassis of the Czechoslovak-designed light tank Panzer 38(t). Its primary purpose was to provide the Wehrmacht with an effective means of protecting armored units and moving columns against aerial attacks. The mechanical reliability and maneuverability offered by the 38(t) chassis served as the technical foundation for mounting a 20 mm Flak 38 anti-aircraft gun on a rotating, shielded platform to protect the crew. The main weapon was often utilized not only against aircraft but also in engaging fixed positions and supporting ground troops in close combat situations. Over time, the Gepard was progressively supplemented in the anti-aircraft role by other self-propelled systems with greater firepower, such as the Wirbelwind and the Ostwind.
** This model kit is supplied in unassembled and unpainted plastic components. Please note that glue, model paints, and other basic modelling tools are required and sold separately.
