Aber 35G19 Anti grenade screen for KwK 38 Lavete (1/35)

The precise Aber 35G19 anti-grenade screen is dedicated to the 1:35 scale replica of the KwK 38 gun mount. This product is intended for demanding modelers who wish to enrich their model with realistic details characteristic of the original constructions from World War II.

The anti-grenade screen type, so-called anti-grenade screens, was commonly used as additional protection for artillery crews and armored vehicle crews. Their main function was to shield against hand grenades dropped by enemy infantry onto combat positions, especially during street fighting or defending fortified positions.

The KwK 38 (Kampfwagenkanone 38), 2 cm caliber, was the armament of German armored vehicles, including the Sd.Kfz. 222 and Sd.Kfz. 251, from the World War II period (1939–1945). The original gun mounts were exposed to grenade attacks; hence, the use of screens increased their chances of survival in engagements with the enemy. This solution proved its effectiveness during urban combat on the Eastern Front and in North Africa.
