1/350 Flaktowers by Takom, and another 1/35 gun turret from a ship. Coming soon.

Well this is original. I like these unusual subjects Takom keeps producing.

Just worked out the rough dimensions and converted into 1/72 scale! I can see now why they are doing this in 1/350 scale.

 

As a rough guide, converted the Berliner zoo flak tower to 1:1 scale using a convertor (these are not 100% accurate so calculations may be slightly off) came to about 75.25m (w) x 75.25m (D) x 39m (H); very, very roughly at 1/72 it's 1m x 1m x 54cms! in 1/35 scale as most armour modellers seem to work in 2.15m x 2.15m x 1.11m! That would be a monster of a model!

In 1/76 with a detachable end it could double up with Airfix 88’s and with the end open a kennel for the dog. Now that’s a talking point

Great choice of subject, Takom, look forward to this one...now, how about a small section of the Maginot Line or Atlantic Wall?

I hope they make some suitable figures or vehicles for the flak towers or they might be a bit spartan.

 

Pity they didn't go for 1/285th scale to match up with 6mm wargame scale - lots of accessories available and I'm sure the towers would nake great wargame bases.
