1/35 German 7,5cm Pak40 AT gun
Border Model 1/35 German 75 mm Anti-Tank Gun PaK 40 is a detailed 1/35th scale model of the famous German anti-tank gun. Introduced in 1942, the PaK 40 became the basic anti-tank weapon of the Wehrmacht and was deployed on all fronts of World War II. The kit offers a realistic design of the gun with fine details, ideal for solo display and dioramas.
The PaK 40 anti-tank gun (Panzerabwehrkanone 40) was developed by Rheinmetall-Borsig in response to the increasingly better armoured Soviet and Allied armoured vehicles. It was introduced into the German army's arsenal in 1942 and quickly became the Wehrmacht's main anti-tank weapon. With its 75 mm calibre and high muzzle velocity, it was capable of penetrating the armour of most Allied tanks of the time, including the T-34 and KV-1.
The PaK 40 featured a rugged construction, twin-tyred wheels and a low profile that facilitated camouflage in the field. It was deployed on both the Eastern and Western fronts, in North Africa, and became one of the most widely used artillery weapons of the German Army. By the end of the war, more than 23,000 were produced and the gun became a symbol of German anti-tank defence. Its effectiveness persisted after 1945, when it was used by some smaller armies.
The 1/35th scale Border Model kit features a detailed rendition of the PaK 40 including the chassis, shield and barrel with finely detailed parts. The model is suitable for building a stand-alone exhibit as well as for inclusion in dioramas featuring German WWII equipment.
The package does not include paint or glue needed for assembly.
