Tamiya HC-35343 recreates a Luftwaffe artillery crew serving with the Africa Corps, ideal for bringing North African WWII scenes to life in 1/35 scale. The set provides eight figures in authentic poses, including an officer issuing orders, an NCO in shorts, and crew handling shells and a rangefinder, plus a selection of accessories to dress your diorama.
Luftwaffe anti-aircraft units in the theatre famously operated 88mm guns against both aircraft and Allied armour such as Matildas and M3 Grants. Uniform details capture the look of tropical-issue kit, with sand-coloured fabric that often faded to varied shades in the desert heat.

About Luftwaffe units in the Africa Corps
Rommel's Africa Corps included a number of Luftwaffe anti-aircraft units, equipped with 88mm guns used not only in ground-to-air situations but also in engagements with enemy armor such as Matildas and M3 Grants. The units' teamwork was a constant boon for the Africa Corps, whether the enemy was airborne or a land vehicle.
About the Uniform
Both Army and Luftwaffe troops in North Africa received tropical uniform. The Luftwaffe version had a large pocket over the left knee, and other small differences. The sand-colored cloth was lighter than the Army equivalent, but faded rapidly in the sweltering heat, leading to many different shades.
