The Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind was developed to counter low-flying Allied aircraft, mounted on the Panzer IV chassis and fitted with a rotating turret housing four 20mm Flak guns. Tamiya's 1/35 kit reproduces the vehicle's silhouette and turret configuration with an eye to historic detail and model finishing.
Debuting in 1944, the Wirbelwind combined a low profile with concentrated anti-aircraft firepower and turret protection from thin armoured plates. The model reflects these design choices and provides parts suitable for precise assembly, painting and display on a shelf or in a diorama.
