Assembled model 1/35 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun Flakpanzer IV Ostwind Italeri 6594 description ALTERNATIVE ROADS WITH LENGTH OF LINKS FLUID RUBBER ROADS - STICKERS FOR 2 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTIONS During the war, there was an urgent need for the production of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns capable of protecting troops, both in the open and on the move, from low-flying air attacks. The Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind was built on the hull of the Panzer IV medium tank, armed with a 20 mm quadruple Flak 38 system. In late 1944, the Wirbelwind was joined by the more powerful Ostwind, which mounted a 37 mm Flak 43 anti-aircraft gun. Due to its longer firing range, the anti-aircraft armament , protected by a thick and distinctive shield mounted on an "open" hexagonal turret, could also be used effectively against ground targets to support troops in the field.
