COBI® 8.8 cm Flak 18 with Carriage

The classic set of the 8.8 cm Flak 18 with carriage is a real highlight for military enthusiasts, model builders, and fans of realistic brick-built models.

This is no ordinary cannon.

This is the legendary "Eight-Eight," a weapon that spread fear and terror on land and in the air, destroying tanks, aircraft, and fortifications... and which now deserves an honorable place on your shelf.

A weapon that became a legend of the Second World War.

Despite the strict restrictions imposed on Germany after the First World War, Krupp engineers, in collaboration with the Swedish company Bofors, developed a design ahead of its time.

The 88mm caliber became a symbol of German artillery strength, a weapon viewed with great respect by the Allies.

The Flak 18 was mounted on a characteristic cross-shaped carriage that allowed for rapid rotation and a 360° field of fire.

The heavy, massive, and imposing gun required powerful towing vehicles, initially three-axle trucks and later the half-track vehicles Sd.

Kfz. 7 and Sd.

Kfz. 8, which are inextricably linked to its combat history.

Thanks to its enormous muzzle velocity, excellent accuracy, and lethal effect against any target, whether in the air or on the ground, this powerful anti-aircraft gun quickly gained cult status.

The Flak 18 cemented its legendary status during the 1940 French Campaign by destroying the heaviest Allied tanks such as the Char B1 and the Matilda II.
