Model of the 8.8 cm Flak 18 with trailer! A classic legend of the Eastern Front in your collection! The classic version of the 8.8 cm Flak 18 set with a trailer is a real treat for military enthusiasts, model collectors and fans of realistic brick constructions. This is not just an ordinary cannon. This is the legendary "Eighty-Eight," a weapon that sowed fear on land and in the air, destroying tanks, aircraft and fortifications... and now it can take a place of honor on your shelf. A weapon that became a legend of World War II Despite the strict limitations imposed on Germany after World War I, Krupp engineers, in cooperation with the Swedish Bofors, created a design ahead of its time. The 88 mm caliber became a symbol of German artillery power, a weapon that the Allies spoke of with genuine respect. The Flak 18 was mounted on a characteristic cross-shaped carriage, allowing for rapid rotation and firing in a full 360° range. The heavy, massive and impressive gun required powerful tow vehicles, initially three-axle trucks, and later the Sd.Kfz.7 and Sd.Kfz.8 half-track tractors, which are permanently etched in its combat history. This powerful anti-aircraft gun quickly gained iconic status thanks to its incredible muzzle velocity, excellent accuracy and deadly effectiveness against any target, both in the air and on the ground. The Flak 18 cemented its legend during the French campaign in 1940, destroying the heaviest Allied tanks, such as the Char B1 and Matilda II. Advantages of the 8.8 cm Flak 18 brick set:
