The 2cm FlaK 38 can trace its roots back to a 2cm naval anti aircraft gun which was developed into Wehrmacht`s Flak 30, the 38`s direct ancestor. Poor performance of the Flak 30 gave way to the much better Flak 38 with almost twice the rate of fire, longer barrel and a lower weight. The Flak 38 was introduced into service in 1939 and served up until the end of WW2. As the war progressed the gun became less effective against low flying ground attack fighters, its primary role, as they became faster. Small improvements were introduced during the Flak 38`s service including longer barrels and different sights.

A standard trailer, the Sd.Ah.51, was used for towing the Flak 38. This trailer was basically a frame with wheels to which several "loads" could be mounted. In addition to the Flak 38 (and 30), a box body for ammunition (as in Tristar`s "late" kit #35029), fuel tanks, etc. Typical prime movers for the gun during the early war included the Krupp Protze. Throughout the was the Flak 38 was mounted on several vehicles both as standard modifications and field mounts. Field conversions varied and included trucks such as the Opel Blitz and Maultier and some oddities such as the complete gun and platform begin mounted on platforms constructed on the Horch Kfz.15 and Krupp Protze. Standard mounts included the Sd.Kfz.10 and Opel Blitz both of which required the vehicles to be modified in the factory. Several armoured vehicle mounts where constructed including the Sd.Kfz.251/17 which has fold down sides and the Flakpanzer 38(t).
