New Arrival: Tamiya 1/35 WWII German 5cm PaK38 Anti-Tank Gun
The Tamiya 35392 WWII German PaK38 Anti-Tank Gun in 1/35 scale has just arrived! This finely detailed kit from Tamiya recreates one of the Wehrmacht’s most important mid-war anti-tank weapons — a powerful and historically significant piece that bridges the evolution of German anti-armor artillery during World War II.
Historical context: The 5cm PaK38 (Panzerabwehrkanone 38) was developed by Rheinmetall and introduced in 1940 to replace the lighter 37mm PaK36, which struggled against newer Allied armor. First seeing combat in North Africa and on the Eastern Front, the PaK38 proved highly effective against early Soviet and British tanks. Though later overshadowed by the heavier PaK40, it remained widely used throughout the war, especially by infantry divisions in need of a mobile, reliable anti-tank gun.
About the kit: Tamiya’s all-new tooling of the PaK38 showcases precise engineering and exceptional realism. The set includes both the detailed 5cm cannon and crew figures in dynamic poses, ideal for diorama settings. Builders can display the gun in either transport or firing position, complete with fine details like ammunition cases, spent shells, and textured surfaces that highlight Tamiya’s unmatched quality in military modeling.
