Custom Piece MOC Miniature – German 2 cm Flakvierling 38 Anti-Aircraft Gun (Pedestal Mount) – 3D Print for LEGO minifigure

The item is a Flakvierling 38 Anti-Aircraft Gun (Pedestal Mount) model, which is a buildable accessory designed for minifigures. This is a detailed, brick-built replica of the German 2 cm Flakvierling 38. Like the previous model, it features the devastating quadruple barrel configuration. However, the key difference in this version is the mount: instead of a folding field tripod, this gun is mounted on a heavy rotating pedestal base. This configuration typically represents the Naval Deck Gun version used on warships or a static emplacement. It features a gunner’s seat, side armored shields, and a mechanism allowing the four barrels to elevate.

Background: While the Flakvierling 38 was famous on land, it was also a critical weapon for the Kriegsmarine (German Navy). This pedestal-mounted version was standard equipment on the decks of S-boats (fast attack craft), minesweepers, and even U-boats (submarines) to defend against Allied fighter-bombers at sea. The quad-barrel setup allowed a single gunner to put up a massive “wall of lead” to deter attacking planes.
