Flyhawk FH3030 1/72 German Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind Assembly Tank Model Kit

The Flakpanzer IV Möbelwagen was an anti-aircraft tank developed by Nazi Germany during World War II, with the official designation Sd.Kfz.161/3. Its name originated from its unique square turret design, which gave the vehicle a resemblance to a furniture transport vehicle. It entered service in the European theater in 1944.

To address the issue of insufficient anti-aircraft firepower, the German army proposed a plan to integrate anti-aircraft weapons onto tank chassis. This model utilizes the chassis of the Panzer IV tank and is equipped with a designated weapon system.

The first batch of units equipped with this model was deployed to the Western Front in 1944, and later expanded to the Eastern Front. However, as new types of anti-aircraft tanks were introduced, this model gradually withdrew from the battlefield.
