Bolt Action: German heer 8.8cm Flak 37 (Winter)
Originally developed as an anti-aircraft weapon, the infamous‘eighty-eight’ or ‘88’, as it became known by Allied troops, had a highmuzzle velocity, allowing it to reach the higher ranges bombers were capable of.This feature also made it an exceptionally deadly anti-tank weapon, as manyAllied tank crews learned to their peril. As such, the 88 was also deployed asa conventional artillery piece. As one infantryman noted, the 88 was“anti-everything”…
The 88 saw service on all fronts in which the Germans fought during WWII.Capable of penetrating armour plate up to 108mm thick at ranges of up to1,100 yards, the 88’s fearsome reputation grew immensely during its servicein the Western Desert where it was one of the very few weapons capable ofdealing with the British Matilda II infantry tanks. A similar scenario unfoldedon the Eastern Front as the 88 was among the rare weapons able to tackle theSoviet T-34 and KV tanks.
Contains one plastic Flak 37, seven metal German Heer (Winter) crew figures,MDF base and game accessories.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
