Scale Overview of the Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind

The Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind addressed the need for mobile anti-aircraft defence, using the Panzer IV chassis and a compact rotating turret armed with four 20mm Flak guns. Tamiya's kit focuses on replicating the vehicle form and turret mechanics at 1/35 scale for display-oriented builds.

Introduced in 1944, the vehicle combined modest armour thickness with a concentrated gun array and a low silhouette under 3 metres in height. The model reflects these traits while allowing modellers to emphasise paintwork, weathering and small-scale detail to match period references.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Static model kit
  • Details: Rotating turret, multi-gun mount

What should I know before starting assembly?

Check parts against the instruction sheet, plan paint and markings ahead of gluing, and work in stages to avoid handling freshly painted surfaces while building.

Are small details like the gun barrels delicate?

Some of the fine gun and turret parts are delicate; handle sprues carefully and use gentle sanding and trimming to avoid stress marks or breakage.

Can I customise the build with weathering techniques?

Yes, the kit is well suited to weathering and detailing; techniques like washes, dry-brushing and pigments work well to recreate operational grime and battle wear.
