1/144 PAK-43 (Panzerabwehrkanone 43)
The
History
At the time Rheinmetall was developing the
Flak 41, the Krupp's company was also competing
for production orders with their 8.8 cm Gerät 42 proposal. The Krupps design was
not accepted for production as an anti-aircraft gun, however development
continued and resulted in the dreaded 8.8 cm PaK 43 anti-tank gun and 8.8 cm
KwK 43 tank guns.
Pak
43 (abbreviation of Panzerabwehrkanone 43) used a new single axle mount with
the gun much closer to the ground, making it far easier to hide and also harder
to hit. It was had a much stronger and more angled armour shield to provide
better protection for gunners.
All versions this design were able to
penetrate about 200 mm of armour at 1,000m, allowing it to defeat the armour
of any contemporary tank.
The standard armament of the Tiger II, the
KwK 43 tank gun, was essentially the PaK 43 externally modified to fit into a
turret.
Total production: 2,098 (from 1943 to
1945)
