FlaK 36, and later the 8.8cm FlaK 37.  FlaK is a contraction of German Flugzeugabwehrkanone meaning “aircraft-defence cannon”, the original purpose of the weapon.  In English, “flak“ became a generic term for ground anti-aircraft fire.  In informal use, the guns were universally known as the Acht-acht (“eight-eight”) by Germans and the “eighty-eight” by the Allies.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv

202\u003c\/strong\u003e carriage allowed the 8.8cm FlaK to be fired in a limited anti-tank mode when still on its wheels.  For normal emplacement, one single-axle bogie was detached from the front outrigger and one from the rear, side outriggers were then hinged from the vertical position to the ground; the total time to set up was estimated at two and a half minutes.  Both modes of operation made the gun much more suitable for fast-moving operations, the basic concept of the blitzkrieg.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:

limited protection for the gunners.  These shields could be retrofitted on older Flak 18s as well.  The weight of the gun meant that only large vehicles could move it, the \u003cstrong

fire.  With the automatic loading system, the gun layers’ job was to keep the gun barrel trained on the target area based on the signals from the controller.  The loaders would keep the weapon fed with live ammunition which would fire immediately upon insertion — all while the gun layer aimed the weapon according to the data.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color:

36 AT Gun with Crew Model Kit 1:56 Rubicon Models 280057","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe PaK 36 (Panzerabwehrkanone 36) was a 3.7 cm calibre German anti-tank gun used during the WW2. It was the main anti-tank weapon of Wehrmacht infantry units until mid-1941.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\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 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\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 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\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 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\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 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\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 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\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.

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.

The gun was designed as an intermediate anti-aircraft gun, filling the gap between fast firing close-range small calibre anti-aircraft guns and slower firing long-range high calibre anti-aircraft guns, a role which previously was filled by older outdated guns. The Bofors 40mm L\/60 was for its time perfectly suited for this role and outperformed competing designs in the years leading up to World War II in both effectiveness and reliability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eIt entered the export market around 1932 and was in service with 18 countries by 1939.

The Bofors 40 mm L\/60 would however continue to see service long after becoming obsolete as an anti-aircraft weapon due to the massive number of surplus guns from WWII, and a small number of Bofors 40 mm L\/60 guns remain in service today. Some weapons saw action as late as the Gulf War and Yugoslav Wars. Over 60,000 units were produced up to the present day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eProduct Highlights:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- Options to build as a Mk I or Mk III gun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- Can be assembled in transport or deployed mode\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- Gun can elevate up and down\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- Gun platform can rotate left and right\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- Outrigger can swing open or closed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- Extra ammo and gun barrel included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- 4 British gun crew included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eProduct Code: 280123\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eNo of Parts: 89 pieces \/ 2 sprues\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Rubicon Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42759459340349,"sku":"280123","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/1424\/9021\/files\/ctpcnpummy4.jpg?v=1764602131"},{"product_id":"m2a3-75mm-field-gun-and-carriage-with-crew-us-military-156-rubicon-model-280127","title":"M2A3 75mm Field Gun with Crew US Military | Rubicon Model | 280127","description":"\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe 75mm Field Gun M1897 on M2 Carriage was a field gun and anti-tank gun which was used by the US Army during the interwar period and World War II. Originally of French design, the Canon de 75 modèle 1897 was supplied to the United States in large numbers and became the standard field gun for the US Army during World War I. In US service the mle 1897 was given the designation 75mm Gun M1897.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eIn 1932, a modified gun known as the M2 was standardized for limited production. It took advantage of new projectiles and developments in high explosives. Existing box trail 75mm gun carriages were given sprung axles, steel wheels, and pneumatic tires to allow them to be towed behind vehicles at higher speeds. On January 18, 1934, the conversion kit for existing guns was standardized, and modernized guns were given the designations “75mm Field Gun M1897A1” through “75mm Field Gun M1897A4”. Modernization of 75mm guns also involved placing M1897 guns on new M2A1 carriages. Production of the M2A2 carriage began in 1936, but the conversion process was slow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eAfter the defeat of France by Nazi Germany in the spring of 1940, The Army became worried about its lack of modern antitank guns. In July 1940, a simplified and improved carriage with retractable crescent-shaped jacks known as the M2A3 was introduced, and it was decided to mount M1897 guns on both M2A2 and M2A3 carriages and equip them with direct-fire sights so they could be used as anti-tank guns. These guns were issued to both field artillery and anti-tank units.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eIn 1941, field artillery units began converting to the new 105mm M2 Howitzer, and some M1897s were removed from their towed carriages and installed on the half-track M3 Gun Motor Carriage (GMC). The towed version and the M3 GMC was used by American Tank Destroyer battalions during operations in the North African and Italian campaigns. M3 GMCs were also used in the Pacific theater during the Philippines campaign and by Marine Regimental Weapons Companies until 1944. Their performance in an anti-tank role was adequate against Japanese and Italian armor but inadequate against late war German armor. M3 GMCs remained in use with the British in Italy and North West Europe in small numbers until the end of the war. Towed guns were also used for training and on March 8, 1945, they were declared obsolete and retired. In total, 1,250 units were produced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eProduct Highlights:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- Can be assembled in transport or deployed mode\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- Gun can elevate up and down\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- Gun trail can swing open or closed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- Extra ammo and stowage included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- 3 US gun crew included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eProduct Code: 280127\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eNo of Parts: 60 pieces \/ 2 sprues\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Rubicon Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42759459864637,"sku":"280127","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/1424\/9021\/files\/alwxk3yndzi.jpg?v=1764602519"}],"url":"https:\/\/hobby-lines.co.uk\/collections\/budlings-and-dioramas.oembed?page=2","provider":"Hobby-lines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
