Technical InformationĪdditional Reading Pz Kpfw IV Information about the Panzerkampfwagen IV. The remaining turret survived the war, and is currently located in the Lehrsammlung der Heeresflugabwehrschule in Rendsburg. Two of the turrets were allegedly transported to Berlin to be used as static anti-aircraft guns, but it is not know whether they saw any action. CGTrader is a site I like to refer to as a reservoir of 3D models. However, like most sites on this list, you need to sign up and log in to be able to download free SketchUp models. Little is known of the combat history of the Kugelblitz. Click on the BIM models tab, search for the SketchUp model of your desire and click on the model to download. Further delayed meant that only three Kugelblitz had been produced when Deutsche Edelstahlwerke, an important subcontractor, was captured by the Allies. In September 1944, this plan was changed to two being manufactured by Daimler-Benz in October, and three being manufactured by Stahlindustrie in November. Kugelblitz production was to begin in September 1944, at a rate of five per month, reaching 30 per month by December 1944. The Pz Kpfw IV chassis was retained, as it was the only one readily available. Traverse and elevation of the turret was hydraulic, allowing a full elevation in just over four seconds, and a 360° traverse in 15.5 seconds. To fit the 3 cm MK 103, it was necessary to use the wider Tiger turret ring. Being belt-fed, rather than magazine-fed, loaders became superfluous during combat, allowing for a smaller turret. ![]() This was significantly higher than the practical rate of fire of 150 rounds per minute of the 3,7 cm Flak 43 of the Ostwind. The theoretical rate of fire of the MK 103 was 900 rounds per minute, with a practical rate of fire of 480 rounds per minute. ![]() The guns were mounted in a semi-spherical, fully-enclosed turret. In early 1944, Daimler-Benz presented a new design, still based on the Pz Kpfw IV, mounting a dual 3 cm MK 103, originally designed by Rheinmetall-Borsig as an aircraft gun. 30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire), as the cartridge was then known. During its 1894-98 production run, it was chambered to. The turret was taken from a submarine design, in which fully-enclosed spherical turrets had been designed to replace the unprotected deck guns, but because of the inherent differences between tanks and submarines, the idea was dropped. The carbine was of 1964 vintage, and I was able to shoot it alongside an 1897-vintage 26-inch octagonal barreled rifle. ![]() The gun was to be manufactured by either Brünn or Rheinmetall-Borsig. The idea first appeared in late 1943, when it was suggested to mount a dual 30 mm anti-aircraft gun on a Pz Kpfw IV chassis. The last, and most advanced, Flakpanzer based on the Pz Kpfw IV chassis to be build was the Kugelblitz (ball lightning). 3D Warehouse will be disabled on this version of SketchUp on June 30, 2023.
