Tamiya 35144 1/35 German 8-ton Semi-Track 3.7cm Flak 37 Sd.kfz. 7/2 Armored Cab Type

This 1/35 scale model kit recreates the German 8ton Semi-Track Sd.kfz 7/2. As World War II progressed and Germany began to lose air superiority amid relentless Allied air raids, the need for stronger ground-based air defenses became critical. This led to the development of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns mounted on tank and half-track chassis.
One such vehicle was the 8-ton half-track (Sd.Kfz.7/2). Built on a proven chassis originally used to tow the formidable 88mm gun, the Sd.Kfz.7/2 was adapted to carry a powerful 3.7cm anti-aircraft cannon capable of firing up to 160 rounds per minute. Introduced in 1943, later versions featured additional armor protection for the driver's position and radiator, enhancing battlefield survivability.

Special Features:
- This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
- Faithfully captures the functional form of the Sd.Kfz.7/2, including a highly detailed half-track suspension system.
- Tailgate can be assembled in either raised or lowered position for added display versatility.
- Includes realistic plastic netting to enhance authenticity.
- The 3.7cm anti-aircraft cannon is precisely recreated with intricate detail on the breech and mounting.
- Comes with parts to depict both explosive and armor-piercing shells.
