Italeri 6594 - 1/35 Flakpanzer IV Ostwind: Detail and context

The Italeri 6594 1/35 Flakpanzer IV Ostwind appeals to modellers focused on WWII armoured vehicles and anti-aircraft adaptations. Its exposed gun mount and turret arrangement make the Ostwind a distinct subject, and this kit reproduces the key elements for accurate modelling and display.

Context and accuracy

The Flakpanzer IV Ostwind was created to meet the need for mobile anti-aircraft defence, mounting a 37mm Flak 43 on a Panzer IV hull. Italeri's parts reflect the vehicle structure and armament, providing a faithful base for model historians and display builders.

Build experience and presentation tips

Suited to modellers comfortable with mid-level complexity, the kit contains detailed components that reward time spent on seam cleanup and painting. Once finished, it presents well in a diorama or on a shelved display among similar scale armour.
