Desert Marlin
This and the 75mm artillery piece are my favorites...

Martin Oostrom
My paint arrived yesterday. Need to decant the rattlecan and let it degass.

Mathias Decommere
What's the difference between 35 and 36?

Martin Oostrom
35 should be the design year and 36 is the diameter to length ratio of the barrel

Mathias Decommere
Thank you Martin, haha Olivier!

I will also try some chipping, but that will be in 2024....

Peter Muldoon
I think I chipped away too much. Wasn't intending on it looking this weathered.

@Martin Oostrom: the barrel length is 45 calibres, so it's an L/45 gun (and note that this is by the German way of measuring this: breech to muzzle, not the length of the actual barrel itself). The proper designation, to the best of my knowledge, is 3,7-cm-PaK 36, without the "35/" in there. The gun was designated the "3,7-cm-Tankabwehrkanone" before 1 July 1936, when it was officially renamed "3,7-cm-Panzerabwehrkanone".

Desert Marlin
Your 37mm looks great!!!

Spanjaard
nice job Peter

Martin Oostrom
Jakko, I don't know enough about this thing to stand my ground, so you could be right.

Peter, It looks very well to me.

Mathias Decommere
Following GPT the 35 was a manufacturing error🤷🏼‍♂️

Peter Muldoon
Thanks guys! Learning a lot about it here too.
