German 2 cm Flak 38 barrels, 1/72 - Aber Models 72 L-09

Aber Models 72 L-09 is a 1/72 scale set of replacement cannons dedicated to German 2 cm Flak 38 parts for reproducing a Wirbelwind. This detailing accessory is aimed at modelers who want to complete a military build at this scale with dedicated anti-aircraft weapon barrels.

The subject represented

The 2 cm Flak 38 is a German 20 mm anti-aircraft gun used during World War II. The Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind combined four guns of this type in an open turret mounted on a Panzer IV chassis. This anti-aircraft configuration is an iconic subject among German armored vehicles of the period.

1/72 detailing accessory

The reference 72 L-09 is designed to depict the 2 cm Flak 38 cannons of a Wirbelwind in 1/72 scale. It’s suitable for super-detailing or replacing the barrels provided by a compatible kit. The base kit is not included.

At 1/72 scale, each dimension of the real vehicle is reduced by a factor of 72. Handling small parts requires careful work, especially during preparation, alignment, and gluing.

Assembly and finishing

Before assembly, it is recommended to check the fit of the parts on the model concerned. A precision tweezer, a fine blade, and glue suited for small scale model parts make assembly easier. Painting and weathering can then be carried out consistently with the decoration chosen for the vehicle.
