Italeri 1/35 Sd.Kfz.140 'Gepard' Flakpanzer # 96461
The Sd.Kfz. 140 Flakpanzer 38(t) “Gepard” was a self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle developed by Germany during World War II, designed to provide mobile air defence for armoured and mechanised units.
Built on the reliable Czech-designed Panzer 38(t) chassis, it combined proven mobility with effective anti-aircraft capability.
Armed with a 2cm FlaK 38 automatic cannon mounted in an open-topped fighting compartment, the Gepard was capable of engaging low-flying aircraft as well as lightly armoured ground targets.
Its high rate of fire made it particularly effective against fast-moving threats, offering vital protection to advancing or defending formations.
The compact and dependable 38(t) chassis allowed the vehicle to operate across varied terrain, while its relatively low profile made it less conspicuous on the battlefield.
Introduced in the later stages of the war, the Flakpanzer 38(t) reflected Germany’s increasing need for mobile air defence in response to Allied air superiority.
Efficient, adaptable, and purpose-built, the Flakpanzer 38(t) “Gepard” represents an important step in the development of self-propelled anti-aircraft systems during World War II.

| Short Description | The Sd. Kfz. 140 Flakpanzer 38 “Gepard” self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle was developed during World War II using the chassis of the Czechoslovak-designed light tank Panzer 38(t). Its primary purpose was to provide the Wehrmacht with an effective means of protecting armoured units and moving columns against aerial attacks. The mechanical reliability and manoeuvrability offered by the 38(t) chassis served as the technical foundation for mounting a 20 mm Flak 38 anti-aircraft gun on a rotating, shielded platform to protect the crew. The main weapon was often utilized not only against aircraft but also in engaging fixed positions and supporting ground troops in close combat situations. Over time, the Gepard was progressively supplemented in the anti-aircraft role by other self-propelled systems with greater firepower, such as the Wirbelwind and the Ostwind. - Scale is 1/35 |
