7.62 cm Pak 36(r) — New Bronco Kit

By Lone_Sentry_Admin, on October 16th, 2010%

Bronco Models has announced a new 1/35th scale kit of the German 7.62 cm Pak 36(r) antitank gun which was based on modified Russian guns captured in large quantities by the Germans.

CB35056 1/35 German 7.62 cm Pak 36(r) Anti-tank Gun:

1/35 German 7.62 cm Pak 36(r) Anti-tank Gun - Bronco Models CB35056

From the Catalog of Enemy Ordnance, U.S. Office of Chief of Ordnance, 1945:

7.62 cm Pak 36 (r): Antitank Gun (Ex-Russian)

The original 7.62 cm Pak 36, a Russian weapon, was captured by the Nazis and modified to increase the velocity. The built-up tube was rebored to seat a longer cartridge case, and a two-baffled muzzle brake added to cut down recoil energy. The breech mechanism is of the vertical sliding type, and the firing mechanism of the continuous pull type. The breech ring has been bored to seat a safety lock which holds the firing mechanism in a safe or firing position. A firing lever attached to the left side of the cradle enables the gunner to traverse as well as fire the piece. The elevating handwheel is generally situated on the right side of the cradle. Two puller type equilibrators located under the front of the cradle and attached to the rear by chains compensate for muzzle preponderance.
