Tamiya – German Flakpanzer IV Mbelwagen (w/Flak43)

At the later stage of WWII, Wehrmacht developed various anti-aircraft vehicles, and the Mbelwagen self-propelled gun was the first to combine a Panzer IV hull with a 3.7cm Flak 43 cannon. The armor plates of the vehicle’s superstructure could be lowered to afford unimpeded gun rotation. They were mainly deployed on the Western front and proved effective against low-flying Allied fighter bombers. 240 examples were produced until the end of the war.
