01520 - 1/35 - German 3.7cm Flak 43 Flakpanzer IV Ostwind Trumpeter  [TP01520]

The stwind had been truly the past of some Flakpanzers (anti-aircraft tanks) on the basis of the Panzer IV framework to enter production, albeit in little figures. The stwind carried one 3.7cm FlaK43 weapon, which much better set alongside the less efficient 2cm weapons the irbelwind, and required less area in turret, including simply needing a crew of two (gunner and loader) rather than the gunner and two loaders of quadruple weapons. Like irbelwind the stwind had an excellent angular turret, now six sided, combined with gun growing from a slot in pointed front side applying this turret. After studies in July, on 18 August 1944 Ostbau got a contract to create 100 stwind Is. Under 1 / 2 associated with the automobiles is produced the initial fifteen of ultimate total of forty-three was in fact completed in December 1944, much too late to acquire any impact regarding the war.
