03174 8,8 cm Flak 36 (Fire Director 40, Sd.Ah. 202 & 52)

The 8.8 cm Flak, with a legendary reputation for anti-tank warfare, was a German anti-aircraft cannon used in the Second World War. Three versions were developed, the 8.8 cm Flak 18/36/37 which came into use on all fronts. At times up to 11,000 guns were operational and formed the backbone of the air defences against bombing raids. The maximum vertical ceiling was 10.6 km, the range 14.8 km. They could fire about 15-20 rounds per minute. In order to represent a Flak battery the model kit comprises the fire director 40 complete with trailer Sd.Ah.52. This piece of equipment served to ascertain the firing data. The Flak can be built in either the firing or the travelling position. The trailer Sd. Ah.202 is included and the outrigger gun mount can be folded up like the original. The gun elevates and traverses through 360°.
