History:
In the final years of World War II, Germany increasingly resorted to improvisation to bolster its defences. The Fla-MG151/20 Drillingslafette, a triple-mount version of the 20mm MG151 cannon, was typically used in static or vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft roles. Mounting such weaponry on available civilian or agricultural vehicles, like this tractor, offered a mobile and cost-effective solution for defending key positions from Allied air raids. Though such conversions were rare, they showcase the resourcefulness and constraints of Germany’s war machine during its decline. MiniArt brings this concept to life with impressive fidelity and historical flair.
