1/35 Trumpeter German 37mm Flak 43 Zwilling – 02347

The new 3.7-cm Flak 43 was a dramatic improvement over the older models. A new gas-operated breech improved the practical firing rate to 150 RPM while at the same time dropping in weight to 1,250 kg in combat and a mere 2,000 kg in transport. The barrel was shortened to 89 calibers. It was also produced in a twin-gun mount, the 3.7-cm Flakzwilling 43, although this version was considered somewhat unwieldy and top-heavy.  Large-scale production did not start until 1944 and about 7,216 guns were produced by the end of the war (Zwillings included, each counted as two guns).
