The BOFORS 40mm FLAK mod 58 in a closed version was only manufactured in this form for the German Navy.
The FLAK gun was used on the speedboats of the 148 Tiger class and on the decks of the minesweepers of the following classes:
- Hameln Class 343
- Kulmbach Class 333
-Ensdorf Class 352
On all of these boats there were There is space for two guns. One on the forecastle and one on the aft platform of the deckhouse.
These were later replaced by the naval light guns (also in our store).
The model
The gun consists of seven components, some of which have to be printed several times. The model can be printed at any scale. For smaller scales we recommend RESIN printing.
For a better visual result, we recommend using a transparent material to print the gun's dome. Of course, you can simply use another similar color instead.
The gun is saved in its original size so you can adapt it to any scale. Please note that the slicers read the model data smaller than it actually is. Slicers turn the meter information into millimeter information.
The model is printable with conventional PLA. However, we recommend something more "elastic" material, such as. PLA+. This has better flexibility and makes the boat less prone to breakage
