CMK 3140 Swiss WW II Anti-Tank Rifle Solothurn S-18/1000 w/wheeled carriage 1/35

The CMK 3140 Solothurn S-18/1000 1/35 scale plastic model kit is an exceptional choice for advanced military modelers and enthusiasts of World War II anti-tank weapons. The model faithfully replicates the Swiss Solothurn S-18/1000 anti-tank rifle mounted on its original, mobile wheeled carriage, offering the possibility to build the replica either in firing position or in a configuration prepared for transport.

The Solothurn S-18/1000 is a globally recognized rifle developed by the Swiss company Solothurn, owned by Rheinmetall-Borsig AG. The weapon was developed in the 1930s for effective combat against tanks and armored vehicles. Although manufactured in Switzerland, it was widely exported to many European countries, including Finland, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Estonia, the Netherlands, and to the German Wehrmacht, where it was widely used, although never officially ordered by the German armed forces. The weapon was also mounted on various types of vehicles: from Polish TKS tankettes and Italian Sahariana vehicles to CV-33 tankettes, and served during World War II (1939-1945).

The kit includes 22 perfectly replicated parts made from high-quality plastic, guaranteeing details true to the original, such as the anti-tank barrel, sighting system, and a highly detailed transport carriage. The model does not include extras such as photo-etched parts or a metal barrel, but offers authentic detailing and the possibility of presenting the model in two assembly variants. The product belongs to the plastic model kits category.
