PaK 35/36 & PaK 41

What's in the box.

You get 3 sprues and 2 PE sprues; no decals are provided and none are needed.
You get 1 sprue with 2 barrels and a Stielgranate 41; on the other double sprue you find the carriages and ammo. On the PE sprues you find 2 gun shields and 2 ammo boxes, one for each gun.

The sprue with the carriage is the same as UM kit 409 and 605 with the parts what will make those kit cut away. This means that most of the comments on this kit will also count for other kits.

The shield of the PaK 35/36 is provided as 7 nice, thin parts. 1 main part and 6 parts to be glued on the main shield. This is done so you can fold the top of the shield down. This was sometimes done in the field to lower the gun's silhouette and is a nice touch. There is also a nice shovel provided as a PE part; it just needs the shaft replaced with a piece of plastic rod and you will have a shovel that is much better than a plastic shovel.

Faults that were found so far are that there is a step in the trail that should not be there. There is no tread detail on the tires but that is normal with most kits and the double shield of the PaK 41 is missing (you only get 1 shield).

Part 33A is not numbered on the sprue and is molded under label 16A. Parts 31A and 16A must be switched.
