Historically, the 5,5cm Flak (VG2) Gerät 58 was developed by Rheinmetall-Borsig as well as Krupp in response to the German ministry of War's demand for a mid-size caliber anti-aircraft gun. This gun was intended to fill the gap between the calibers 3.7 cm and 8.8 cm. Although the gun reached the prototype stage and a final version was produced in February 1945, there is no evidence that it ever saw action in the war.

This kit is ideal for scale model enthusiasts and collectors interested in World War II military equipment. It offers a blend of historical significance and modeling challenge, suitable for experienced modelers looking to expand their collection with a unique and less commonly seen piece of artillery.
