An injection-molded plastic kit of the 8.8 cm Panzerjägerkanone 43 in 1:35 scale. To the plastic sprues the manufacturer adds photo-etched parts, turned metal parts and rubber tires for the transport carriages.
The PaK 43 was among the most effective anti-tank weapons of the Second World War. A barrel of 88 millimeter caliber and 71 calibers in length gave the shell a high muzzle velocity, and the gun punched through the armor of Allied tanks at ranges where it was itself hard to hit. The same weapon formed the armament of the Jagdpanther tank destroyer, the Nashorn self-propelled gun and the Tiger II heavy tank. The cruciform carriage allowed traverse through a full circle, and once the gun was seated low to the ground the firing position could be concealed well, which with a weapon of such a long barrel decided whether the crew survived.
Glue the long barrel and the thin shield in a jig so that they stay in line; with a weapon this long every deviation shows. Paint the carriage frames separately first and glue them only after they have dried. The gun comes into its own on a small diorama base: washes will emphasize the rivets and the welds, and dry pigments on the underside of the carriage and on the tires will add dust and mud. Lay down an intermediate gloss clear coat before the decals.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
