FLAK 43 1/35

The Flak 43 was a Rheinmetall design and featured a completely new gas operated breech mechanism and numerous speed changes to manufacture. It did continue to use existing ammunition and the barrel remained basically the same as the Flak 18, 36 and 37. Changes in speed manufacture meant that only 1000 man hours were needed to manufacture instead of the previous 4320 man hours. Rate of fire, traverse, and elevation speeds was increased making the Flak 43 a great improvement over the existing guns. _x000D_ Item No 02311 _x000D_ Item Name FLAK 43 _x000D_ Bar Code 9580208023113 _x000D_ Scale 1:35 _x000D_ Item Type Static Armor _x000D_ Model Brief Length:110 mm Width:70.8 mm _x000D_ Total Parts 139pcs _x000D_ Metal Parts n/a _x000D_ Photo Etched Parts 1 piece _x000D_ Film Parts n/a _x000D_ Resin Parts n/a _x000D_ Total Sprues 5 sprues _x000D_ Paint Schemes German Army _x000D_ Released Date 2009-12 _x000D_ More Features " The kit consists of 139parts ,1 piece of Photo Etched parts _x000D_ - Details finely represented by newly tooled parts"
