Plastic assembly model: German anti-tank gun Pak-36 with crew 1:72 Zvezda 6114

The German anti-tank gun Pak-36 with crew is a set prepared by Zvezda, designed in the Snap-Fit system, which allows assembly without the use of glue. The model depicts the basic light anti-tank gun of the Wehrmacht from the Second World War period, along with its crew.

Design History:
The 3.7 cm PaK 36 (Panzerabwehrkanone 36) is a German 37 mm anti-tank gun, developed in the 1920s at Rheinmetall. It entered service in 1928, and in 1936 it received the official designation Pak 35/36. At the outbreak of the war, it was a modern and easy-to-transport weapon, but the progress in Allied tank armor quickly exposed its limitations. During the campaign in France in 1940 and after the attack on the USSR in 1941, it proved ineffective against vehicles such as the British Matildas or the Soviet T-34 and KV-1, which earned it the ironic nickname "door knocker" (Heeresanklopfgerät). Nevertheless, due to its high mobility and availability, it was used on many fronts until it was replaced by the more powerful Pak 38 guns.

Set Characteristics:

• Scale: 1:72
• Assembly System: Snap-Fit (no glue required)
• Number of parts: 13
• Model length: 4.7 cm
• Contents: 1 gun, 2 crew figures, base with unit flag

The set is fully compatible with the strategic game system "Art of Tactic," constituting an essential element of the anti-tank defense of German forces on the board. The models of the figures and the gun are characterized by high precision despite the small number of parts.

Set for self-assembly. Does not include paints or tools. No glue required for assembly.

For assembly, you will need, for example, a knife or nippers - to cut the plastic parts from the sprues. Additional modeling tools (including files or tweezers) and paints will also be useful (but are not required).
