The Trumpeter 1/35 Flak 43 model offers a faithful study of a notable World War II anti-aircraft piece. Rheinmetall's gas-operated breech on the original design improved manufacturing and field performance. The Flak 43 achieved a higher firing cadence and faster traverse and elevation compared with the Flak 18, 36, and 37.
The kit reproduces the Flak 43 with precise proportions and a focus on small details. Finished dimensions are 110 mm long and 70.8 mm wide, making it a natural match for other 1/35 displays. The set includes 139 plastic components across five sprues, offering a detailed assembly that rewards careful modelling.
No metal or resin parts are supplied, but a single photo-etched item is included to add finesse. There are no decals in the box, so builders can choose period markings or craft their own schemes based on research.
