German paratrooper battalion support

Hi, here are some pictures of my Pak36 support unit for my Fallschirmjaeger battalions. Both gun and the crewmembers are made by Hät in an annoying soft plastic which makes it difficult to construct the Pak36. However the price of these guns and crewmembers are low, the soft plastic is a real disadvantage compared with Italeri gun sets such as the Pak40 and Soviet Zis gun.


A picture of the gun and crew based on the usual hardboard base.


If the gun would be used against a British Crusader Tank MK I's hull during the fictional invasion of Great-britain. The Pak36 would be capable of penetrating the hull with relative ease in the red areas! These sorts of results can be calculated by using the following online calculator: http://www.wwiiequipment.com/pencalc/
