Description

To provide a mobile antitank capability, the 2.8cm Panzerbüchse 41 was sometimes mounted on halftracks. The 2.8cm sPzB 41 was officially a heavy antitank rifle, but its characteristics were actually closer to those of a light antitank gun. Production of this weapon took place from 1941 onwards, but manufacturing was discontinued in 1943 due to a lack of tungsten for the projectiles that were fired at very high velocities. Features: - accurate 2.8cm sPzB 41 AT gun - one-piece barrel made from slide molds - double-layer armored shield accurately reproduced with full detail - roof plate for mounting AT gun - one-piece gun cradle made from slide molds, with detail both sides - road wheels injected as a unit - convenient to assemble and saves time - photo-etched parts upgrading detail - DS tracks - Cartograf decal offer accurate markings Text copyright by Dragon.
