The Trumpeter 01585 1/35 8.8cm Flak 18 Selbstfahrlafette is a highly detailed plastic model kit representing one of the most powerful and feared German artillery systems of World War II. The 8.8cm Flak 18, famously known as the “88,” was originally designed as an anti-aircraft gun but became highly effective in a self-propelled configuration for anti-tank warfare.

This 1/35 scale Trumpeter kit features exceptional detail with over 780 precision-molded parts, including individual track links, photo-etched metal components, and a highly detailed gun assembly. The model includes a fully detailed chassis, engine components, crew compartment, and realistic gun shield. Optional metal barrel parts and working elevation/rotation features enhance realism.

Ideal for experienced modelers, this kit offers an impressive balance of historical accuracy and engineering detail. Once completed, it makes a striking display piece showcasing one of the most iconic German WWII artillery platforms, combining firepower, engineering, and battlefield history in a single model.
