Panzer Art RE35-164 Kanone 40 Barrel with Canvas Cover tank destroyer "Sturer Emil" 1/35

The Panzer Art RE35-164 upgrade set is an extremely precisely reproduced replacement barrel for the Kanone 40, featuring a canvas cover and dedicated to the German tank destroyer "Sturer Emil" model in 1/35 scale. The component is produced using high-quality resin casting technology, offering a significantly higher level of detail compared to standard plastic parts. The canvas cover is realistically crinkled, perfectly capturing the look of worn fabric, which further enriches the model’s final appearance.

The original Sturer Emil, or 12.8 cm Selbstfahrlafette L/61, was an experimental German self-propelled gun from World War II. Only two prototypes of this vehicle were built, both of which saw frontline combat, mainly during the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942–1943. The Sturer Emil was characterized by its enormous firepower thanks to the 128mm Kanone 40 gun, which made it especially effective against Soviet heavy tanks.

The Panzer Art product is intended for detailing 1/35 scale plastic model kits and is the perfect solution for fans of historical German armor from World War II who desire maximum realism and a unique look for their model. The resin barrel with its finely recreated cover delivers an impressive finishing effect, and its easy assembly makes this set appealing even for less experienced modelers.
