Rick Hoskinson built this model of a German WWII PaK 43/41 88mm anti-tank gun that required parts from three kits. The undercarriage and wheels came from the Roco 150 mm cannon (#186) model. The trails and recoil spades came from a Preiser 105mm cannon and the gun tube came from the Roco Nashorn kit. Everything else was scratchbuilt. The model was painted with Model Masters enamel and weathered with dry pigments and washes of grimy black. There were over 1,400 of these anti-tank guns built during WWII and they saw action on all European fronts. The prime mover for this weapon was the SdKfz 7 artillery tractor that was featured in Photo Gallery 525.
