Historical background of the vehicle

The Flakpanzer I is a rarely encountered self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle, built on the chassis of the German light tank Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A. Its main armament was a 2cm FlaK 38 automatic anti-aircraft gun. The Germans produced a limited number of these vehicles, mainly for the Afrika Korps during the North African campaigns (1941–1943). The Flakpanzer I version was an attempt to quickly increase the mobility of anti-aircraft artillery and provide it with its own protection on the battlefield, especially in response to the growing threat posed by Allied air power on the African front. Only a few photographs of this vehicle have survived to this day, which makes it an attractive choice for advanced modelers and historical diorama builders depicting scenes from World War II.
