ZVEZDA 3610 - German Anti-tank Gun with Crew PAK-36 - Plastic Model Kit Scale 1/35 89 Parts Lenght 6¼" / 16 cm

At the beginning of World War II, the German Wehrmacht was equipped with about 11,200 of the 3.7cm Panzerabwehrkanone (or "Pak" for short) 35/36 anti-tank guns. These excellent guns were very effective against the Polish and Soviet light tanks of the early war period, with their light anti-bullet armor. But, these lighter anti-tank guns could not penetrate the heavier armor of the British "Matilda" or Russian T-34 and KV model tanks, which earned these guns the nickname Heeresanklopfgerät ("door knockers") by the German army. Includes 3.7cm PaK 35/36 gun in combat mode, plus 4 soldiers with ammunition box and shells.
