Shooting from the Rooftops

Takom has let Armorama know about two new kits in the making from them. The first of these is a 12.8cm Flak 40 Zwilling followed closely by a Turtle?

Takom is gaining a name for itself by investing in the very well known and the odd military hardware, odd military hardware which used to be the domain of the resin manufacturers only. The 12.8cm Flak 40 Zwilling may well show up as a diorama of the Berlin flak tower! The Skoda PA II ‘Turtle’ is a very odd looking vehicle that I have never heard of prior to news of this upcoming release. Both of these releases are in 1/35th scale.

2023 - 12.8cm Flak 40 Zwilling
2024 - Skoda PA II ‘Turtle’

Omg a 12.8cm Flak 40..and a twin. My grandad was a ball turret gunner on a B-17G(846th BG, 834th BS). Anyways, before he passed he told me everything including his ability to distinguish between "88's and 105's" in the air and "A bigger B*&%#!D in Berlin" I knew it had to be this.

Should be interesting to see how their Turtle will compare with the one Hobbyboss have announced.

That Turtle is flat-out cool!! With a few tweaks & mods, you could fit that into a post-apocalyptic scene with those Stalker figures.
