1:35 German 3.7cm FLAK 37 ANTI-AIRCRAFT Gun from TAMIYA

The 3.7 cm Flak 18/36/37 was a series of anti-aircraft guns produced by Nazi Germany that saw widespread service in the Second World War. The cannon was fully automatic and effective against aircraft flying at altitudes up to 4,200 m. The cannon was produced in both towed and self-propelled versions. 

The 3.7cm Flak37 was one of the most significant German anti-aircraft guns used by the German forces during WWII. Each clip contained 6 rounds and it could fire a maximum of 160 rounds per minute, or 80 rounds per minute at the normal rate. The Flak37 was deployed to many fronts to defend airspace, and in the latter half of WWII it was also used in the anti-tank role armed with armor piercing shells. In addition, many Flak37s were mounted onto 8-ton Sd.Kfz 7/2 half-tracks and used as mobile anti-aircraft guns.
