German 128mm Flak 40 Zwilling
Eduard 1:35

 

The Flak 40 Zwilling was a surprise kit from Takom, and a very welcome release as the only other in this scale was a rather expensive resin kit. Naturally though, Eduard have deemed it required some attention from the artisans of etched brass. This single sheet set, although quite small does add that little bit extra to an already nice kit. The sheet contains items such as the rifling for the ends of the barrels. These two parts need to be carefully rolled to fit inside the bore of the kits barrels. Whilst they are only about 20mm long, they will give the impression that the rifling goes all the way down if fitted correctly. The other parts on the sheet include the foot pads for the gun trainers, panels for the ends of each breech slide, along with additional brackets for the sides, the interior troughs of the shell cradles, the end plates of each breech block, replacement handles and panels for the electrical box and filler cap for the gearbox, plus the end panels and handles for the storage boxes.

 

 

 

 

Conclusion
Ok, so this is only a small set, but it does add some nice detail which Takom either missed off or are bit clunky due to moulding constraints. A bit like adding a cherry to an already great cake. Highly recommended.
