Tamiya 32554 - 1/48 German Flakvierling 38 Scale Modelling Kit  [32554]

Tamiya 32554: 1/48 Flakvierling 38 model

The Tamiya 32554 kit models the German Flakvierling 38, a four-gun 20mm anti-aircraft mount used during the Second World War by naval and land forces. The clustered barrels boosted overall fire output to engage fast aircraft more effectively. This 1/48 rendition offers a compact, accurate representation for display or diorama work.

Deployment history and modelling uses

The Flakvierling saw service mounted on vehicles, halftracks and ships, making it a versatile subject for diorama layouts. In 1/48 scale it pairs well with common vehicle kits, allowing modellers to depict shipboard mounts, roadside defences or towing scenarios with historical credibility.

Construction details and display considerations

The kit supplies the quad 20mm cannons mated to a sight assembly, with parts that permit lifelike elevation and traverse. Trailer components enable transport poses compatible with 1/48 era vehicles such as the Krupp Protze. Four figure models and accessory items like ammunition crates add narrative possibilities to finished displays.
