Hello,
I’m sharing some pictures of the CAD for my 7.5 cm leichtes Infanteriegeschütz 18.
I designed and gun in Shapr3D in 1:35 scale, based on scale drawings. The design, and tweaks, took about 12-14 hours.
Length: about 8.5 cm
Width: about 5 - 6 cm (it depends on which wheels you use)
Height: about 4 cm
The gun consists of 7 parts:
- carriage
- gun shield
- gun
- wheel x2
- gun axel
- gun sight
And there are options!…
gun with breach open / gun with breach closed
shield with sighting window open / shield with sighting window closed
early type wooden wheels / late type wheels with pneumatic tyres
wheel blocks for the early type wooden wheels (for when the gun is in firing position)
You can download the STL files for here: STL file 1-35 scale German WWII 75mm light infantry gun 🔫 ・3D printer model to download・Cults
Cheers

Thanks, SableLiger! And thanks for the photos. Here is another which inspired the wheel lock blocks…

That’s some clever work going on there; clearly the way ahead I suspect for modelling (though I hope not mainstream just yet).
I have the venerable Tamiya white metal version languishing somewhere in the stash.

Brian that’s not languishing, it’s vinting! That model is a highly prized and sought after collector’s item!

Oh, well, lucky me then! I had plans to do it in Reichswehr service - that lovely Buntefarbenanstrich colour scheme perhaps.

Which scheme is that Brian? My German is very rusty lol

This sort of thing - this is the only pic I could find quickly.
Apologies Matthew - 'didn’t mean to hijack the thread(!) - I do find it an interesting weapons system/concept - immediate fire support for the infantry.
