DRAGON 1/72 60594 Flakpanzer 341 mit 2cm Flakvierling, Nuremberg 1945

At the start of WWII, the Luftwaffe ruled the skies, but this dominance was   gradually overturned as the war progressed. This led to a dire need for more   antiaircraft vehicles for ground forces, and early efforts at producing a Flakpanzer   centered on the Panzer IV chassis. However, the famous German Panther medium   tank was also used as a platform for developmental work, with the Coelian perhaps   being the best-known example. In May 1943, a proposed Rheinmetall design showed   two pairs of Vierling MG151/20 antiaircraft cannons mounted in a Turm Panther   II. This turret was heavily armored and it featured the pairs of cannons offset   from each other and mounted at different heights. This early Flakpanzer design   never advanced much further…except in terms of Dragon Armor’s superb new 1/72   scale model that shows it in fully finished form and with an intriguing camouflage   scheme!
