The FLAK 38 itself is a little gem, made up of 37 nicely detailed parts, with the trailer frame, suspension and fenders being a single slide-molded casting. There is a large sprue gate on the gun barrel, so separation from the sprue could prove tricky.
The Flak 38 was a modification and improvement on the Flak 30, also produced by MAC [kit no 72053], which was thought to have too slow a rate of fire. By modifying the bolt and spring mechanisms the rate of fire was increased and the Flak 38 began to enter service in 1940 and lasted till the end of the war. In 1/72 scale, this kit is very small but looking at the sprue under my magnifier reveals some very fine detail such as the ribs on the magazines and tread on the circular footplates.
Unlike the Flak 30 kit, this one has the shields in plastic rather than PE. They may be a bit over scale but some trimming around the edges should fix this. The only sink mark I could find was right in the middle of the gunner’s seat and should be easy to deal with.
One potential problem will be how to paint the gun barrel and breech in gunmetal while the rest of the model is in Dark Yellow or Dark Grey. I think, if the whole model was assembled with no glue being applied to the barrel/breech, the top of the mount i.e. The two circular bits could be prised apart with some care and the barrel removed. Then the separate assemblies could be painted their respective colours before a reversal of the same procedure. The instructions show three colour schemes, one in Dark Grey [Panzer Grey], Hollandia 1942, a second in Dark Yellow, DAK, Tunis 1943, and a third also in Dark Yellow of SS-Panzer-Flak- Abtailung 12, 1944.
The third example has Green squiggly lines on the three gun shields. I think the grab handles on the PE set would be better not used and substituted with fine wire bent to shape.
This would only leave the small central shield and the foot trigger in PE, making the whole kit easier to make. This impressive little kit should have many uses, Built in its own right, on or off the trailer, or as part of a diorama or as part of another vehicle. No mater how you build it, it’s highly detailed and should be a credit to what you add it too. Highly Recommended though not to novices.

Background The 20mm FlaK 38 ant-aircraft cannon, designed by Rheinmetall, was based on the earlier FlaK 30 gun. Production of the FlaK 30 began in 1937 and continued until the faster-firing FlaK 38 replaced its presence on the assembly line in 1940. Lightweight, inexpensive, reliable and quickly readied for firing, the FlaK 38 was used by the Wehrmacht on all fronts. Towed in a small trailer by medium-sized transport vehicles such as the Sd.Kfz11 and the Horch (a kit also offered by this manufacturer), the gun could be dropped from the trailer, loaded, and ready to fire in a matter of seconds, though it could also be fired right from the trailer. This weapon enjoyed a long and effective career, many serving right up to the end of the war, and were found to be very effective against medium tanks as well as devastating to aircraft flying under 3500 feet.

The Kit I’m not going to bore you on the specifics of the packaging, so suffice to say that the box is a rather flimsy top-and-bottom sort, and the instructions are a rather nice bi-fold type covering history (English being a second language on this one) and fairly clear drawings.
