German Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind
1/35 Military Miniature Series No.233 by Tamiya

Look Out Above!
With air superiority in the skies gone, German forces in the second half of WWII needed a counterpunch. One of their solutions was to develop ground-to-air weapons such as the Wirbelwind flakpanzer, which featured a rotating turret. The proven Pz.Kpfw.IV chassis was chosen as a base, and fitted with the aforementioned turret, which bristled with four 20mm Flak38 guns that could fire at up to 800 rounds a minute. The Wirbelwind was deployed from August 1944 on the Western Front, and proved a menace not only to Allied pilots but also in support of ground offensives.
