Tamiya 1/35 Scale German 37Mm Anti-Tank Model Kit 35035

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of German anti-tank gun in 1:35 scale.

The Tamiya kit allows you to build a 3.7 cm PAK 35/36 German anti-tank gun with four crew members. It was the primary Wehrmacht anti-tank weapon at the beginning of the war. Over time, it turned out to be too weak to penetrate the armor of modern tanks; this problem was solved by the use of Stielgranate 41 caliber bullets.

The set is great for creating or diversifying dioramas. It also includes elements for mounting the cannon on the Sd.Kfz.251 Hanomag armored semi-tracked carrier. In the box, there is a frame with cannon parts and elements of service figures.

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
