Airfix 1/72 German Flak 88mm Gun with Tractor WW2 (02303)
The '88' was best known of all German guns in the Second World War and was used with outstanding success from the Polish campaign until the end of the war in Europe. In the Middle East it was the scourge of the Allied armour, being capable of destroying any tank in service.

The '88' was designed as a Flak, or anti-aircraft gun and had a maximum horizontal range of 16,200 yards (14,813.30m) and an effective vertical range of 25,000 ft (7,620m). It could fire either a 20lb (9kg) high explosive or a 21lb (9.52kg) armour piercing shell at a rate of fire between fifteen and twenty rounds a minute.
The semi-track Sd Kfz 7 tractor was introduced in 1938 and remained in use throughout the war. It was capable of towing an eight ton load at 30mph (48km/h) on roads or 18mph (28.80 km/h) cross-country and could seat 12 men including the driver.
