ULTIMATE SOLDIER 1:18 88mm Flak Gun 36/37 Afrika Korps NEW in box, never opened

Description

Here is a museum quality model of the iconic 88mm Flak Gun made by the Germans and used very effectively in World War II. It is a revised version of a very similar gun they used in World War I. This gun is colored for the desert, which likely means it was destined for the Afrika Korps.
This "Flak Gun" actually served three roles:  as an anti-aircraft gun (high altitude air-burst shell), a general purpose field gun (high explosive fragmentation shell) and as an exceptional anti-tank gun (armor piercing shell).  It became so important in defense against bombing raids that by 1943, 30 % of the German defense budget was used for producing such weapons.
The design of the 88mm barrel was so effective that it was reworked for use on the Mark VI Tiger Tank.
The box is in very good condition, with some minor rumples in spots.
The model has never been removed from the factory sealed box.  The model is in mint condition. The buyer will not be disappointed.
