1/35 German 7.5CM PAK 97/38
The 7.5 cm PaK 97/38 (Panzerabwehrkanone 97/38) is a 75 mm German anti-tank gun. This gun was a classic example of Wehrmacht improvisation on the Eastern Front. It was created as a combination of the captured barrel (in Poland and France) of the Canon de 75 mle 1897 cannon with the bed of the Pak 38 cannon. It was a temporary remedy for the T-34 and KW-1 tanks. The first PaK 97/38 cannons were built in November 1941. Production continued in 1942 and 1943. About 3500 of these guns were produced. They were used on a large scale in combat in the summer of 1942. This weapon was also used by the Finnish Army (from 1943). Despite the unusual combination and considerable recoil, the weapon's good mobility, low weight, and ability to fire HEAT projectiles made the PaK 97/38 a good anti-tank gun. Technical data: barrel length: 272.1 cm, range (maximum): 11000 m, caliber: 75 mm, combat weight: 1190 kg, initial projectile speed: 570 m/s (KGrPzPatr (p) shell), rate of fire: 10- 14 rpm.
