20 mm Gun Flak 38

Name German 20 mm Flak 38 AA Gun mit Sd.Ah.51 (Item. No. Armo 72072)

Producer Jadar-Model, Poland

Packing Small carton box with b/w picture, All parts in two plastic bags.

Type of kit Resin kit with brass metal barrel

Quality Metal barrel of top quality. Resin parts well cast with no bubbles. Only on a few parts there is resin film. Wheels look very well (probably the best I’ve ever seen in resin). In same cases you will need hot water e.g. gun-carriage (after producer suggestion).

Instruction sheet Only assembly instruction, rather clear.

Decals no

General Impression & Note At the beginning was a barrel! Jadar has produced metal barrels for 20 and 37 mm German Flaks but they were for Hasegawa kits. Now we have resin guns for “old” barrels.
As I said, resin parts are well done but some parts are too thick, especially gun shield and knobs. It would be better if the producer gave some photoetched parts (e.g like in Extratech sets). Now you can use Part’s sets for Hasegawa Sd. Kfz. 7 (but then you pay twice).

Jadar produces three different Flaks - one 37 and two 20 mm. All sets look good but if you change some detail they will be superb.
