Das Werk - 3cm Flakvierling 103/38

Lovely little kit. Molding has good detail and no flash. Looking forward to building it.

A beautifully produced 1/35th reproduction of an actual late-war weapon. Exquisitely engineered and molded.

Description

 

Das Werk is a German model kit company. They have highly detailed superbly engineered and unusual subjects. The quality of the kits and their presentation is outstanding. The instruction manuals are works of art!

From their website - "Models from Assembler to Assembler. We want to tackle many things differently, unconventionally. We do not just bring models to the market. We would like to distribute joy in crafting. Here we will inform you about it and take you with us on our journey."

The Mk103/38 was a late-war, four-gun installation of the Mk103 3cm gun from Rheinmetall Borsig. The Mk103 was an electrically fired, recoil and gas-operated automatic cannon designed to be used as a dual-purpose weapon against air and ground targets.

The Mk103 had a rate of fire of 280 rounds per minute using high explosive (HE) rounds, and 420 rounds per minute when firing Armor Piercing rounds.

The experimental Mk103/38 four-gun installation proved troublesome due to fact that the mount was originally designed for the smaller 2cm Flak 38, and heavy vibration took it’s toll on both the equipment and the crew aiming the weapon.
