T-26 PaK 97/38 (1:100)

[Fitz]

This is my 1:100 scale model of one of the myriad WWII German conversions of captured equipment, in this case marrying the Soviet T-26 light tank hull with a French 75mm gun, the PaK 97/38 in German service.

Not a great many of these were ever made. The project went as far as active troop trials, but it was never accepted for full-scale serial production.

There is a driver figure printed in the model (not visible here), but I need to find a couple more crewmen for it. I'm sure I have something suitable in the lead pile.

Cool! Not seen that one before. I can see why they didn't adopt it for service. The fighting compartment must have been pretty cramped and I suspect that the recoil of that 75mm did the suspension of a T-26 no favours.

Maybe they crewed it with the smallest chaps they could find?
