    Info needed for the transport container for the 75mm Pak 40 round

    Greetings all,

    I'm looking for photos and dimensions for the metal container used to transport the 75mm Pak round.

    Also the number of ribs around the container.

    Any help wound be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Hi Tad, welcome to the forum!

    I have the container for the 75mm Sprgr34 HE round which I think was used in the same gun. I have pics of this which I can post if you wish? I can measure this for you tomorrow, as it is getting late here in the UK.

    Cheers, Ade.

      Thanks Ade,

      I appreciate the help. If it's possible could you count the number of "Flutes" around the container and how long they are?

      I'm going to make it in 1/6 scale and need the dimensions and details to reproduce it correctly.

      Thanks you again,

      Tad

                    Thanks Ade, I appreciate it. This confirms what I thought, the dimensions I was given was for an 88mm round.

                    Could I trouble you to measure the length of the flutes and how wide they are? This will help me to scale them when I cut them on the mill.

                    Thanks again for your time Ade.

                    Sincerely,

                    Tad

                      @Adrian, that's a container for a 7,5 cm Kw.K. 40 round, it's not even big enough to fit a Pak 40 round.

                          Hi Tad, sorry for the confusion

                          Hi Zunder, so does the container I have hold the HE round used in the PzIV? I did a search on the net and I think I am now correct in saying that?

                          Cheers, Ade.

                            @Adrian; yes, this particular container , officially known as "Luftdichter Patronenkasten 7,5 cm Kw.K.40" once contained a 7,5 cm Sprenggranatpatrone 34 Kw.K. 40.
                            And yes, Kw.K. 40 was the main gun in some Panzer IV types.
                            I think Pz. IV F, but i'm not an expert when it comes to Panzers.

                            @Manowar: no sorry, i've stopped collecting packingmaterial.
