Four guns for the price of one. 20mm Flakvierling 38. A box of barrels.


The German 20mm Flakvierling 38, also known as the Quad 20mm Flak 38, was a widely used anti-aircraft gun during World War II. It was developed by the German manufacturer Rheinmetall-Borsig and saw extensive service with the German military and its allies.


Let's investigate what's in the box.
 Four guns for the price of one.

The Flakvierling 38 was a towed, manually operated, quadruple-barreled anti-aircraft gun.
It featured four 20mm barrels mounted in a rectangular arrangement on a central carriage.
The gun had a high rate of fire, capable of shooting up to 180 rounds per minute per barrel.
It had a maximum effective range of approximately 2,200 meters against aircraft targets.

It suggests a Horch for towing... I can do that.

Three more guns? Yup, I'm making then too.

Paint schemes on the back.
I made the 1/2 track years ago. I'd love to make one again.

 Usual end panels with all the info...

What's in the bag?

 Instructions in two languages.
My Japanese is a bit rusty...

Gun stuff.


Wheely stuff.
All pre-painted. Get that first coat on.

Next, cutting and gluing and painting and swearing and more painting ...
