Tamiya 32573 - 1/48 Flakpanzer IV Mobelwagen Collector Kit  [32573]

Mobelwagen background and battlefield role

The Tamiya 32573 kit reproduces the German Flakpanzer IV Mobelwagen in 1/48 scale, reflecting the vehicle built on the Panzer IV chassis and first produced in February 1944. The model highlights the Mobelwagen's 3.7cm Flak43 gun, which was capable of firing at about 250 rounds per minute, and its role defending against Allied air attacks.

Kit details and assembly notes for builders

This 1/48 scale kit is engineered for accurate assembly and satisfying detail. The parts allow the armor plates to be fitted in three positions: raised, anti-aircraft firing stance, and fully lowered for ground combat scenes. Assembly-type tracks use one-piece straight sections to simplify fitting while preserving scale appearance. The kit also includes balance weights to add realistic heft to the finished model.

For display flexibility the set includes a standing crew figure, enabling builders to create diorama scenes or a standalone museum-quality model. This kit suits hobbyists who value historical accuracy and neat build techniques.
