Flakpanzer I

Name German Panzer I A/ 2 cm Flak 38 (Cat. Item. 111)

Producer Milicast, Scotland

Packing Clear plastic bowl with carton label

Type of kit Resin kit

Quality The kit includes relatively large number of parts well cast of light gray resin. You will find no bubbles or bubble-holes on them. Some parts include fine flash to remove and most of the fine parts and gaps and holes on bigger parts are covered with fine resin film but it shouldn’t be a problem to clean it. Some of longer and thin flat parts /inclusive chases parts/are little twisted and have to be straight in hot water. The biggest parts of the kita are hull with schematic interior and body of the ammo trailer, both are cast as full piece with big sprue on the base to remove. The chassis is cast in two pieces only – wheels and tracks together. All mentioned parts as well as other are usable without problem after cleaning. Only I would recommend to replace is resin 2 cm gun barrel with new brass one offered also by Milicast as accessories.

Instruction sheet text instructions how to work with resin kits, lest of parts and not very clear graphic assembly instructions

Decals no

General Impression & Note I guess that with little work you can complete out of this kit very nice model of the first of German ”Flakpanzers”. The Flakpanzers was generally born as conversion of Munitionsschlepper I Ausf A (Sd.Kfz.111) and was oficially designated 2 cm Flak 38 auf Stl Pz.Kpfw I Ausf. A (Sd.Kfz. 101).
Only 24 pieces of this rare vehicle were produced in 1941. All of them together with 8 Munitionsschleppers served in 614th Flak Abteilung that was completely destroyed in Stalingrad in January 1943.
