3.7cm PAK 36 #2396

The 3.7 cm PaK 36 (Panzerabwehrkanone 36) was a German anti-tank gun first manufactured in 1928. It made it?s successful debut during the Spanish Civil War and showed great effectiveness against lighter armored tanks in the early part of World War II. Unfortunately, in 1940, during the French campaign, it was not able to penetrate the thick armor of French and British tanks (e.g. Matilda Mk II). After the invasion of USSR, it proved powerless in the clash with T-34 tanks. Due to its ineffectiveness, it gained the joking nickname “Anklopf”, or “knocker”. With this unique set you will build a faithfully reproduced PAK-36 cannon. The model has moving wheels equipped with real rubber tires. The barrel can be moved vertically up and down. The movable mustache allows you to set the gun in combat position or prepare it for towing. The whole set is complemented by a figurine (with binoculars) of a German NCO with faithfully reproduced details of the uniform. The clear instructions include a visualization of the COBI battle game card in which you can use your model. This is an excellent gift for all small and large enthusiasts: history, military and armored weapons.
