The Flakpanzer I was one of Germany's earliest self-propelled anti-aircraft gun conversions, mounting a 2cm Flak 38 cannon on the obsolete Panzer I Ausf.A light tank chassis. Built in very limited numbers, around two dozen vehicles, from 1941, it served with Luftwaffe flak units attached to Panzer divisions, providing mobile air defence during the early campaigns in the West and later in North Africa and on the Eastern Front.Dragon's kit reproduces this rare conversion with accurate small-chassis hull detail carried over from the Panzer I light tank, paired with a finely detailed 2cm Flak 38 mount including its distinctive folding armoured sides that could be raised for ground combat or lowered flat for maximum elevation against aircraft.The kit includes crisply moulded running gear and gun components along with decals for period German markings, giving modellers the chance to build an unusual and rarely-kitted early-war AFV.A distinctive addition for early-war Wehrmacht armour collections, the Flakpanzer I stands out as a compact, characterful subject that fills a gap most manufacturers overlook.
