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.
