The Das Werk DW35038 is a highly detailed plastic figure set in 1/35 scale, representing four German Luftwaffe crewmen operating the famous 8.8 cm Flak gun during WWII.

Key Features

• Four posed crew figures: gunner, loader, ammunition handler, and commander. 
• Includes two 8.8 cm shell rounds, matching their gun-crew role. 
• True-to-scale Luftwaffe uniforms, with helmets and binoculars for added realism. 
• Designed to work with any 1/35 8.8 cm Flak gun model (Flak 18 / 36 / 37). :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• Requires assembly and painting. Glue and paint are not included. 

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.
