A 1/35 scale injection-moulded kit of the Pak 97/38 towed anti-tank gun supplied with crew figures, offered by Italeri for modellers interested in display-orientated military subjects.
Historically, the Pak 97/38 was an improvised German solution using captured French 75 mm mle 1897 barrels mounted on altered carriage gear from 1941, fitted with a muzzle brake and modified mounting to cope with current anti-armor rounds. It provided a more mobile and lighter anti-tank capability where shortages of purpose-built guns existed.
The plastic kit concentrates on external detail and authentic fittings. Components are arranged for traditional assembly with separate parts for carriage, shield, barrel and crew. The included figures show common crew activities such as loading and aiming, enabling a single combined display. A careful paint finish and modest aftermarket additions will refine the model at 1/35 scale.
A historically informed 1/35 portrayal of the Pak 97/38, ideal for modellers seeking a crewed towed gun for display or small diorama projects.
