Historical Context
The 8.8 cm Flak gun (Flugabwehrkanone) was one of Nazi Germany’s most feared anti-aircraft weapons, also used in a ground role. These crew figures bring a human scale to your Flak diorama, representing the men who operated and supported these powerful guns under Luftwaffe command.
Modeling Tips
- Wash parts in warm soapy water before assembly to remove any mould release agent.
- Use plastic cement to glue the parts; sub-assemblies (arms, legs) make painting easier.
- Prime with a light grey or off-white before painting – Luftwaffe uniforms often had subtle shades.
- Add a wash to highlight uniform creases and facial details, then dry-brush metallic tones on shells and small equipment.
- Combine with a matching 8.8 cm Flak gun model (e.g. Das Werk Vomag SPG or other Flak kits) to build a realistic anti-aircraft diorama.
Recommended for: diorama builders, WWII modellers, anti-aircraft enthusiasts, and those building Luftwaffe or German defence scenes.
