1:35 Armata P.Panc 37mm Bofors

Bofors wz. 36 37 mm 1:35 (Mirage Hobby)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Polish anti-tank gun of 37 mm caliber, built under license from a Swedish Bofors design, in 1:35 scale from the Polish maker Mirage Hobby. The model concentrates on a faithful rendering of the carriage, the spread legs and the barrel. It is assembled and painted by the builder.

The real subject

The wz. 36 gun was among the most effective anti-tank weapons of the Polish army at the end of the 1930s. Its 37 mm caliber and the modern design of its carriage with spreading arms gave the weapon good firing stability and the ability to pierce the armor of the light and medium tanks of the day. The weapon was built under license and was a widespread item of equipment.

Building and painting tips

We recommend thin cement for plastic and careful cleaning up of the parting lines on the thin parts of the carriage. Apply a base coat (primer) before spraying, and use an airbrush for an even shade. Fine-tune the weathering of the recesses and the dust effects on the wheels and the frame with washes and pigments.
