128mm twin Flak 40

fledermaus

Master at Arms
This is the Takom 128mm twin flak 40 Zwilling. the kit has excellent details, the only parts I replaced are the gun barrels for alumminum ones.

the model

and the barrel set

one strange thing about the barrel set is that it comes with 88mm brass rounds and balsa boxes instead of 128mm ones. ????
here we can see the difference betwen the 88mm brass round and the 128mm plastic Takom round.
