The real subject

The PaK 36 was a German light 37 mm antitank gun of the 1930s. It served as the standard infantry antitank weapon at the beginning of the Second World War. Against the heavily armored targets of later years it was already weak, yet it stayed widespread and easy to move thanks to its low weight.

Building and painting tips

Cut the small parts in 1:72 scale off carefully with a sharp knife. Use thin modeling cement on the plastic. Paint the gun and the crew separately and assemble them into a small scene. Apply a primer before painting, bring out the details with a wash and weather it lightly with pigments.
