The Tiger I gave the Wehrmacht its first tank mounting the 88mm gun in its first armoured fighting vehicle-dedicated version: the KwK 36.  During the course of the war, the Tiger I saw combat on all German battlefronts.  It was usually deployed in independent tank battalions, which proved to be quite formidable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile the Tiger I was feared by many of its opponents, it was over-engineered, using expensive materials and labour intensive production methods.  Only 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. The Tiger was prone to certain types of track failures and immobilizations, and limited in range by its high fuel consumption. It was expensive to maintain, but generally mechanically reliable. It was also difficult to transport, and vulnerable to immobilization when mud, ice and snow froze between its overlapping and interleaved road wheels in winter weather conditions, often jamming them solid.  In 1944, production was phased out in favour of the Tiger II.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith this model kit, you can build all three (early, mid, and late war) versions of the Tiger I tank.  It comes with three turret tops, optional Feifel air cleaners, and two different sets of road wheels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Code: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e280016\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Parts: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e68 pieces \/ 4 sprues\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rubicon Models Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31889630724176,"sku":"280016","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/1110\/0496\/products\/280016_Tiger_I_E_Box.jpg?v=1582264154"},{"product_id":"280017-stug-iii-ausf-g","title":"280017 - StuG III Ausf G","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStuG III\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was designed to fill an infantry close support combat role, early models were fitted with a low-velocity 75 mm StuK 37 L\/24 gun to destroy soft-skin targets and fortifications.  After the Germans encountered the Soviet KV-1 and T-34 tanks, the StuG III was first equipped with a high-velocity 75 mm StuK 40 L\/43 main gun (Spring 1942) and in Autumn 1942 with the slightly longer 75 mm StuK 40 L\/48 gun.  These versions were known as the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSturmgeschütz 40 Ausführung F\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAusf.

The range of the gun allowed the vehicle to be relatively safe from well camouflaged and pre-arranged positions. However, the chassis was never designed to cope with the extra weight nor the blast shock and recoil, which triggered many mechanical breakdowns and excessive structural fatigue. Nevertheless, in Dec 44, Hitler gave this version top priority. The mount comprised two H shaped beams welded to the floor, on the middle of the rear compartment. The shield was modified with trimmed angles, and the platform was made of flat triangular plates holding in place the original gun cradle. The driver sat on the left, aiming with the standard PaK 40 optics. Traverse was 18° and 19° and elevation ranged from -3° to +22°. 22 rounds (HE and AP) were stored.

Only halftracks were able to operate in these conditions, but removing them from their combat role for supply duties was not feasible, so it was decided to produce half-tracked versions of standard Opel, Daimler-Benz, Alfa-Romeo and Ford trucks (lorries) by removing their rear axles, truncating the prop shafts and connecting them to redundant Panzer I track assemblies. Heavier trucks (4 tons payload) were fitted with Panzer II track assemblies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost Maultier conversions were based on Opel Blitz model S trucks, which proved successful in service. While lacking the overall mobility of purpose-built halftracks they were cheaper and sufficiently effective. From 1943, some Maultier trucks were fitted with armored bodies, designated SdKfz 4. Some of these were armed with 10 tubed rocket launcher Panzerwerfer 42, and were designated SdKfz 4\/1.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Highlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - One piece engine \u0026amp; truck cab for ease-of-assembly\u003cbr\u003e- 2 rear trunk options – early or mid-to-late war\u003cbr\u003e- 2 headlights options – standard or small blackout lights\u003cbr\u003e- Detachable canvas top with rear open or close tarpaulin\u003cbr\u003e- Optional searchlight, spare tyre, benches \u0026amp; fuel cans\u003cbr\u003e- Driver \u0026amp; passenger included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Code: 280046\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Parts: 71 pieces \/ 3 sprues + 1 cab body\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rubicon Models Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31889633083472,"sku":"280046","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/1110\/0496\/products\/280046_SdKfz_3a_Maultier.jpg?v=1582264207"},{"product_id":"47","title":"280047 -SdKfz 305\/3a Expansion Set - Box Body (Einheitskoffer)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the variants of the SdKfz 305 Opel Blitz and the SdKfz 3a Maultier was the box body (Einheitskoffer).

It was the main anti-tank weapon of Wehrmacht infantry units until mid-1941.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesign of a horse-drawn, 3.7 cm anti-tank gun (designated 3.7 cm PaK L\/45) by Rheinmetall commenced in 1924 and the first guns were issued in 1928. By the early 1930s, it was apparent that horse-drawn artillery was obsolescent, and the gun was modified for motorized transport by substituting magnesium-alloy wheels and pneumatic tyres for the original spoked wooden wheels. Re-designated the 3.7 cm PaK 35\/36, it began to replace the 3.7 cm PaK L\/45 in 1934 and first appeared in combat in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War. It formed the basis for many other nations’ anti-tank guns during the first years of WW2. The KwK 36 L\/45 was the same gun, but used as the main armament on several tanks, most notably the early models of the Panzer III. The Soviets used the PaK 36 carriage design for their 45mm M1937 AT gun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the May 1940 Western Campaign, the PaK 36, being a relatively small-calibre weapon, was found to be inadequate against heavy Allied tanks. Still, the gun was effective against the most common light tanks of the era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn June 1941, during the initial phases of Operation Barbarossa, the PaK 36 could still penetrate the armour of the majority of Soviet AFVs at ranges up to 1000m from the front, with the notable exception of the T-28s and T-35s, which it could penetrate only at under 100m; the PaK 36 could not penetrate the relatively thick armour of the T-34s and KV-1s. By late 1941, the widespread introduction of the T-34 on the Eastern Front made the PaK 36 obsolete.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe addition of tungsten-core shells (Pzgr 40) slightly improved the armour penetration of the PaK 36, enabling it to finally damage the T-34, but only via a direct shot to the rear or side armour from point-blank range. Despite its continued impotence against the T-34, it remained the standard anti-tank weapon for many units until 1942. The advantages of the PaK 36 were its; relative ease of handling and mobility (it could be brought into action very rapidly by as few as two men since it weighed only 432 kg); good quality optics\/aiming devices; ease of concealment due to its small size; and high rate of fire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe PaK 36 began to be replaced by the new 5cm PaK 38 in mid-1941. As it was gradually replaced, many were removed from their carriages and added to SdKfz 251 halftracks for use as light anti-armour support. The PaK 36 also served with the armies of Italy, Finland, Hungary, and Slovakia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the PaK 36 quickly became ineffectual in the European and Russian theatres, in China the gun was still viable as an effective anti-tank gun. It could destroy the Japanese tanks, since their armour protection was quite weak. For example, during the Battle of Tai'erzhuang, Chinese PaK 36s destroyed a good number of Japanese tanks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1943, the introduction of the Stielgranate 41 shaped charge meant that the PaK 36 could now penetrate most armour, although the low velocity of the projectile limited its range. The PaK 36s, together with the new shaped charges, was issued to Fallschirmjäger units and other lightly equipped troops. The gun's low weight meant that it could be easily moved by hand, and this mobility made it ideal for their purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Highlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Includes 1 x standalone and 1 x vehicle-mounted PaK 36\u003cbr\u003e- Includes both full \u0026amp; half shields plus mounting plates for all SdKfz 250\/251 variants\u003cbr\u003e- Front lower armour plate in operating or transport mode\u003cbr\u003e- Movable trails \u0026amp; rotating gun\u003cbr\u003e- Includes Stielgranate 41 shaped charge\u003cbr\u003e- Includes shells and ammo boxes\u003cbr\u003e- 5 gun crew in early war uniform included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Code: 280057\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Parts: 60 pieces \/ 1 sprue + 2 figure sprues","brand":"Rubicon Models Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31889634230352,"sku":"280057","price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/1110\/0496\/products\/280057_PaK_36_AT_Gun_with_Crew_170922-1.jpg?v=1582264240"},{"product_id":"pak-38-pak-97-38-at-gun-with-crew","title":"280058 - Pak 38 \/ Pak 97\/38 AT Gun with Crew","description":"\u003cspan\u003eAfter the Spanish Civil War, the German authorities started to think that a new anti-tank gun would be needed, even though the 3.7cm PaK 36 had proven to be very successful. They asked Rheinmetall-Borsig to produce a new and more capable AT-gun. They first designed the PaK 37 in 1935, but the German authorities didn’t approve it because of its low capabilities. Rheinmetall-Borsig was forced to create a new gun under the designation PaK 38, which fitted a new and longer L\/60 barrel and was approved for mass production in 1939.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 5cm PaK 38 (L\/60) (5cm Panzerabwehrkanone 38 (L\/60)) was first used by the German forces in April 1941. When the Germans faced Soviet tanks in 1941 during Operation Barbarossa, the PaK 38 was one of the few early guns capable of penetrating the 45mm (1.8 in) armour of the T-34. The gun was also equipped with Panzergranate 40 APCR shots with a hard tungsten core, in an attempt to penetrate the armour of the heavier KV-1 tank.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough it was replaced by more powerful weapons, it remained a potent and useful weapon and remained in service with the Wehrmacht until the end of the war.

Soon after the German invasion of the USSR in 1941, Wehrmacht units encountered new Soviet tanks, the medium T-34 and the heavy KV. The thick sloped armour of these vehicles gave them invulnerability against German towed 3.7cm PaK 36 anti-tank guns. The situation led to requests for more powerful weapons that would be able to destroy them at normal combat ranges. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven though Germany already had a suitable design, the 7.5cm PaK 40, this weapon entered production and the first pieces were delivered in November 1941. However, until enough of these were manufactured, some expedient solution was required. In its original configuration, the French guns were ill-suited for the anti-tank role because of their relatively low muzzle velocity, limited traverse (only 6°) and lack of a suitable suspension (which resulted in a transport speed of just 10 to 12 km\/h). It was decided to solve the traverse and mobility problems by mounting the 7.5cm barrel on the modern split trail carriage of the 5cm PaK 38 anti-tank gun. To soften the recoil, the barrel was fitted with a large Swiss Solothurn muzzle brake.

They asked Rheinmetall-Borsig to produce a new and more capable AT-gun. They first designed the PaK 37 in 1935, but the German authorities didn’t approve it because of its low capabilities. Rheinmetall-Borsig was forced to create a new gun under the designation PaK 38, which fitted a new and longer L\/60 barrel and was approved for mass production in 1939.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 5cm PaK 38 (L\/60) (5cm Panzerabwehrkanone 38 (L\/60)) was first used by the German forces in April 1941. When the Germans faced Soviet tanks in 1941 during Operation Barbarossa, the PaK 38 was one of the few early guns capable of penetrating the 45mm (1.8 in) armour of the T-34. The gun was also equipped with Panzergranate 40 APCR shots with a hard tungsten core, in an attempt to penetrate the armour of the heavier KV-1 tank.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough it was replaced by more powerful weapons, it remained a potent and useful weapon and remained in service with the Wehrmacht until the end of the war.

Soon after the German invasion of the USSR in 1941, Wehrmacht units encountered new Soviet tanks, the medium T-34 and the heavy KV. The thick sloped armour of these vehicles gave them invulnerability against German towed 3.7cm PaK 36 anti-tank guns. The situation led to requests for more powerful weapons that would be able to destroy them at normal combat ranges. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven though Germany already had a suitable design, the 7.5cm PaK 40, this weapon entered production and the first pieces were delivered in November 1941. However, until enough of these were manufactured, some expedient solution was required. In its original configuration, the French guns were ill-suited for the anti-tank role because of their relatively low muzzle velocity, limited traverse (only 6°) and lack of a suitable suspension (which resulted in a transport speed of just 10 to 12 km\/h). It was decided to solve the traverse and mobility problems by mounting the 7.5cm barrel on the modern split trail carriage of the 5cm PaK 38 anti-tank gun. To soften the recoil, the barrel was fitted with a large Swiss Solothurn muzzle brake. The gun was primarily intended to use HEAT shells as the armour penetration of this type of ammunition does not depend on velocity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 7.5cm PaK 97\/38 reached the battlefield in the summer of 1942.

The shape of the turret earned it the nickname Keksdose (“Biscuit Tin”). Production of the tank was carried out by Ostbau Werke in Sagan, Silesia.
