Tamiya's 1/35th scale PAK 35/36 - Builder's Notes

Quick round of Builder's Notes of the Tamiya PAK-35/36 model kit in 1:35 scale. This classic kit, though aged, still holds up as a solid option for model enthusiasts. Available for under $10, it offers great value with finely molded parts and detailed accessories.
The kit includes two sprues: one for the gun with raised details and accessories like cartridges, and another for the crew with various weapons and kit. While the figures may appear a bit rough due to their age, they are still usable and can yield satisfactory results.
Building the kit is straightforward, with parts falling together seamlessly. It's an ideal choice for beginners, promising a weekend project with minimal challenges. However, you may encounter some ejection pin marks, particularly on the armor plate.
Poseability is a highlight, with trail legs and the breech block being adjustable. Though modifying for certain poses like folding the upper armor plate may require extra effort.
Overall, this kit offers a rewarding build experience, particularly for novices exploring the hobby. For a closer look at the real PAK-36, we recommend checking out the video from ‪@ForgottenWeapons‬ .

Thanks for watching! Yeah, I would imagine there are loads of 1/35th figures out there that would go well with it. I almost put a metal barrel on it, but thought better of it after seeing the plastic one is perfectly adequate.

I love your videos! Do you plan on making any timelapses or build vids?

[@middlingmodeler]

Thanks! I plan on including the full build as part of the builder's notes videos, just figuring out how to make it work in a reasonable way.
