Takom 2179 Flakpanzer 38(t) Kugelblitz 1/35

Takom 2179 Flakpanzer 38(t) Kugelblitz 1/35 is an advanced plastic model kit representing the German prototype self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle from World War II. The 1/35 scale allows for a faithful reproduction of historical details, making this set an exceptional choice for experienced modelers and military history enthusiasts.

Flakpanzer Kugelblitz was an innovative project developed by the Third Reich in the final years of the war. It was distinguished by its novel, enclosed rotating turret, which provided the crew with exceptionally good protection compared to earlier anti-aircraft guns such as the Mobelwagen or Wirbelwind, whose positions were open. The Kugelblitz turret was fitted with twin 30 mm MK 103 cannons, allowing for impressive firepower with a firing rate of up to 900 rounds per minute. The construction was based on the proven Panzer IV tank chassis, facilitating logistics and production. Despite its high potential, only five prototypes were produced before the end of World War II and none entered operational service. The subsequent fate of these vehicles remains unknown.
