It featured design upgrades such as a muzzle brake, aluminium alloy trail legs, and a gun shield composed of two sheets of 4mm plate; using Panzergranate 39 shells it defeated 61mm of 60-degree armour from 500 meters. First deployed in the Balkan theatre in Spring 1941, the Pak 38 saw action in areas from the Eastern Front to North Africa and 9,600 of this trusty weapon were manufactured up to 1943.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style='box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: \"Open Sans\", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;' id=\"isPasted\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(1, 125, 197);\"\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 142mm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pak38 form is depicted in style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic renderings of sighting device, breech, gun barrel with muzzle brake, double armour plate gun shield, suspension and solid tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn ergonomic suspension parts breakdown offers plenty of detail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssemble the model in firing or towed state \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with commander, gunner and two other crew figures in realistic pose, plus shells, casings and other accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style='box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: \"Open Sans\", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;' id=\"isPasted\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(1, 125, 197);\"\u003ePhotos of the Finished Model\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/content\/files\/homepage%20images\/extended%20product%20images\/tamiya%20model%20kits\/35392\/35392_banner_01.jpg\" style=\"display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1) \u003c\/strong\u003eHighlights of this detailed model include the sighting device, operator’s handles, cradle, and breech.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2)\u003c\/strong\u003e Separate parts are used for the twin curved armour plates, tyre tread and shovel-equipped lower shield.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3)\u003c\/strong\u003e Even partially hidden areas like the mount, cradle and trail leg connecting sections have a realistic finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/content\/files\/homepage%20images\/extended%20product%20images\/tamiya%20model%20kits\/35392\/35392_banner_02.jpg\" style=\"display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1)\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose open or closed trail legs, and a towed or firing gun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2)\u003c\/strong\u003e The towed gun has its auxiliary wheel on the trail legs, and the lower shield flipped up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3) \u003c\/strong\u003eWhy not pair this kit with our separately sold Hanomag model (Item \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyco.net\/tamiya\/tamiya-military\/german-hanomag-sd-kfz-251-3-1-35020\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e35020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e)?","brand":"The Gift factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53810739020117,"sku":"35392","price":18.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/0804\/2069\/files\/35392_01_8939f11d-80d4-44e9-a57e-4f9b17f999ea.jpg?v=1778772525","url":"https:\/\/the-gift-factory.co.uk\/products\/1-35-german-anti-tank-gun-5cm-pak-38","provider":"The Gift factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
