Das Werk Pz.Kl.Zerstrer Small Tank Destroyer (1/35) Item DW35007

Das Werks Pz.Kl.Zerstrerliterally *small tank destroyer*is a new-tool 1/35 scale kit depicting an experimental German vehicle developed in late WWII. Built on the Panzer II chassis, this compact destroyer was fitted with a Pak 40 or similar 75 mm anti-tank gun in a fixed superstructure. Although never mass-produced, it represented a field-tested interim solution to counter Allied armour with limited resources. The kit includes full hull, gun, stowage boxes, and armor plates.

• 1/35 scale injection-moulded plastic kit (Das Werk DW35007)

• Selectable build options: open-top crew compartment or armored panel

Historical Background:

The Pz.Kl.Zerstrer was among several German stopgap tank destroyer designs developed in 194445 to increase anti-tank firepower using existing chassis. Mounted with a PaK 40 or similar 75 mm gun on the compact Panzer II chassis, these vehicles were tested but never entered mass production. This kit allows a creative portrayal of late-war improvisation and battlefield expedience.
