Trumpeter 01520 1/35 German Flakpanzer IV Ostwind with 3.7cm Flak 43 Collector Edition  [TP01520]

Trumpeter 1/35 German Flakpanzer IV Ostwind - Modeller Overview

The Trumpeter 1/35 representation of the German Flakpanzer IV Ostwind provides a detailed modelling project that mirrors the wartime anti-aircraft vehicle built on the Panzer IV chassis. The kit captures the single 3.7cm Flak 43 gun and the Ostwind's characteristic angular turret.

Why the Ostwind Appeals to Scale Builders

The Ostwind was intended to improve mobile air defence effectiveness. This kit emphasizes the turret silhouette and gun fitting, giving builders a clear view of design choices and a chance to assemble a historically recognisable model.

Assembly Notes

Containing 854 parts, this kit is a substantial build for seasoned modellers. It includes one photo-etched fret to lift surface detail, and careful attention is needed to align the many small pieces. Finishers can apply the indicated dark yellow, red brown, and green camouflage to replicate the original marking scheme.
