German WW2 Pak 36 Anti Tank Gun- Replica- Blank Firing (prototype)
This is a prototype model of our replica German WW2 Pak 36 Anti Tank gun. We have spent many months producing our replica Pak 36. Primarily to increase our stock of good quality artillery pieces for hire to the film industry. We have many original and reproduction pieces that are regularly hired to the movie industry and we understand the need for good quality with strong visual references to the original pieces but constructed to be both robust and easy to use.
We started this project by measuring a 1:6 scale model of the gun. Then by finding and purchasing several key parts from relic and destroyed guns we had a starting point to start to manufacture our replica. Using hundreds of photographs and being supplied some measurements from gun owners, we slowly proceeded to make up our first prototype.
Over the course of time and with several remakes and modifications we started to get the assembly to work. We discovered that some information was not to scale and also that there are many variants which often supplied us with contradicting information. But, with a lot of trial and error, we have got our prototype to a point where we are happy to stop development of this particular gun as it meets our immediate needs.
To give production value to live performance and public displays, we have fitted this model with a straight tube which can fire a pyrotechnic charge to simulate firing.
We are now taking orders to manufacture this Replica Pak 36 Anti Tank Guns. We have the option to produce this with a sliding breech (please see our Replica Pak 38 for example). All guns come with original wheels, hubs and axle bearings. For more information regarding Hire or purchase options, please contact our office. [email protected] 02392 253175
