About this 3D model

The interwar period saw most of the world’s military’s suffering from limited funding. This caused many weapon developers to design weapon systems that could fill multiple roles; hence we see aircraft that double as both a bomber and a transport (e.g. - the Ju-52), or fighter / attack / reconnaissance (e.g. the Italian Ba-65) or tanks that include a wheel conversion so they could act in the role of armoured cars as well (e.g. - the American Christie and Soviet BT series, the Swedish L-30). There were examples in artillery as well, the most relevant for the bolt Action player is the Skoda 37mm / 70 mm Hybrid gun system. This weapon is in the army list of the Bulgarian army. Although the Bulgarians are a are a rarity on the tabletop, to the best of my knowledge no one has covered this weapon. This weapon came with two barrels; a 70mm barrel for firing HE, and an 37 mm anti-tank barrel that was inserted into the 70mm barrel to fire AT ammo. The gun (and hence the model) was small; the Czech document in the link notes the 70mm barrel was <90 cm.; the AT barrel was < 130 cm. I did up this .stl pack for resin printing; I could not design it for FDM printing. In the photos I used crew from my Polish army, my Bulgarians are still in the planning stage. I have reworked the carriage/gun sets for resin into a one piece print; they remain a two piece print for FDM. I suggest you print one each of the guns - one as an ATG and one as a light howitzer. I have added a small base for the gun and two crew men on 25mm bases (the recesses are 28mm so the based figures will fit). Simply print two complete guns and switch them dependent on which weapon you announce to be using in each turn (as per the weapon rules in the Bulgarian selector). • Please note the pre-supported files for resin printing may not be ideal for your printer, resin, or settings. They are provided as a courtesy only, and while they worked well for me, your results may vary.• Always clean support material away carefully and test fit before gluing.If you have any questions, concerns or difficulties, please contact me at deweycatproductions@gmail.com
