Tamiya 35306 1/35 Russian Infantry Anti-Tank Team Plastic Model Kit*

Shhh! Here Comes One

During WWII, Russian soldiers used many varieties of anti-tank rifles including the Degtyaryov PTRD. The PTRD fired a 14.5mm armor piercing bullet which could penetrate the armor of German Pz.Kpfw. III and IV tanks at 100m. To counter this threat, German tanks were equipped with Schurzen armor. The PTRD was used to destroy parts such as periscopes of Tiger and Panther tanks that had heavy armor. It was also seen used in an anti-aircraft role.
