Cannone Anticarro Sovietico da 45 mm L.46 PTP M.37

In 1930 l’armata sovietica received a cannone anticarro da 37 mm PTP M.30, which was a license-built version of the German 37 mm Panzerabwehrkanone. The due guns looked very similar, except that the Soviet 37 mm gun had spoked wire wheels. The same affusto was also used for the more powerful 45 mm PTP M.32 which had better armour penetration capabilities e was taken in widespread use. By 1941, most of the cannone anticarro da 37 mm had been relegated to second-line units. The early 45 mm PTP was superceded by the cannone anticarro da 45 mm PTP M.37 which is the subject of several model kits.
