Description

The 5 cm FlaK 41 was 50 mm anti-aircraft gun produced for defending intemediate zone above the light, 37 mm guns' range, but below the ceiling of the heavy, 75 mm and above, pieces. Development of the gun, although started in 1936 was slow, and the contract was awarded to Rheinmetall-Borsig only in 1940. The gun was produced in two models, used for defending important industrial installations. None of the two was a success and both shared the same faults. The speed of traverse was too slow for fast-moving targets and the gun proved underpowered, even though the propellant gave a powerful blast, able to dazzle the aimer even in broad daylight. Altogether 60 of 5 cm Flak 41 were produced, starting from 1941. Some of them were still in use in 1945. _x000D_ _x000D_ Item No 02350 _x000D_ Item Name German 5cm FLAK 41 _x000D_ Bar Code 9580208023502 _x000D_ Scale 1:35 _x000D_ Item Type Plastic Model Armor Kit _x000D_ Model Brief Length: 279.3mm Width: 125.4mm _x000D_ Total Parts 260+ _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 and tires _x000D_ Released Date 2020-09 _x000D_ More Features The kit consists of over 260 parts ,includes a piece of Photo Etched parts _x000D_ - Details finely represented by newly tooled parts _x000D_ - Rubber tires
