Info needed about SPZB 41

[Jos L C]

Hi folks,


A while ago I've bought a DID 1:6 figure and it came with a metal light cannon, namely the Schwere Panzerbuchse 41 2.8cm.
The cannon is far from complete, so I'll try to enhance it.
I've gathered most photo's from the internet, but several parts still make me wonder, I've no clue about their purpose and couldn't find any explanation.

Questions in different fora brought me no luck either, very frustrating ..

A era manual would do the trick, or a copy .. is there anyone of you who is familiar with this type of weapon.. they were used by Fallschirmjager, mountaintroops etc..


I guess that the maker couldn't find any decent detailed info either, hence the many missing parts.
To me, it's worth the effort, cause it's a nice model not often seen.
Ofcourse I can post some pics of what I'm doing pretty soon, just have to make them..
All new parts will be from scratch metal, I love to work with crap ..

Hi Jos,

There is one at the Belgian Royal Military Academy in the ballistics department.

What do you need? Will call a friend to take some pics.

Best regards

Thanks Jan, but I've a load of good pictures of the parts.., what I don't have is the knowledge of what certain parts represent.
