Historical Background
The PaK 97/38 was a stop-gap solution used by the Wehrmacht after the invasion of the Soviet Union. It combined captured French Canon de 75 mle 1897 barrels with German Pak 38 carriages to create a reliable, if improvised, anti-tank weapon. It saw service on the Eastern Front and in North Africa throughout World War II.
Display & Build Tips
For best results, apply a dark yellow base coat with green and brown camouflage patterns to match 1942–43 Luftwaffe ground colors. Add mud weathering to the wheels and crew boots for extra realism. Pair with an Sd.Kfz. tractor or infantry figures for a complete battlefield scene.
