About product

The 20 mm Flak 30 in 1:48 scale - a Hauler photo-etched set

The package holds photo-etched metal parts for refining the plastic kit of the 20 mm Flak 30 light antiaircraft gun in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit of the weapon but an aftermarket accessory from the Czech maker Hauler meant for the ACE kit. The base model has to be obtained separately.

The real subject

The Flak 30 was a German 20 mm light antiaircraft gun introduced in the 1930s. It was used on a mount with folding outriggers, on the beds of vehicles and on watercraft, and it was the basis for a later improved type that reached a higher rate of fire. The construction of the weapon is largely made up of thin sheet-metal and pierced parts - the seats, the shields, the floor gratings, the sighting frames and the magazine holders. It is precisely with these that injection-molded plastic runs up against its limit and photo-etched metal comes into its own most.

Building and painting tips

A gun set means a great many very small parts. Work over a light-colored tray or over a piece of cloth with raised edges - a piece of photo-etch that flies off onto a carpet is as good as lost. Reach for tweezers with fine but unsprung tips, because springy tweezers will shoot the part away. Gratings and meshes glue better if you apply the super glue to the frame and not to the mesh. Once it has been assembled, paint the weapon in the thinnest coat you can, ideally with an airbrush, so that the pierced areas do not fill in, and bring the detail out with a dark wash and light drybrushing.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of German antiaircraft equipment in 1:48 scale.
  • Modelers who build artillery models and dioramas with crews.
  • Those who want pierced sheet metal and gratings at a real thickness.
  • More experienced modelers who can manage very small photo-etched parts.

This is an accessory set, not a model. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not. These are photo-etched metal parts only; the plastic kit has to be bought separately.

They are two related German guns of the same 20 mm caliber. The later type was modified in its design and reached a higher rate of fire. The sets therefore do not match.

Apply the super glue to the frame the grating sits down on, not directly to the mesh. That way you avoid flooding the openings.

In the thinnest coat you can, ideally with an airbrush. A heavy coat floods the openings and the detail disappears.
