5 cm KwK 39 L/60 anti-tank gun on fortress mount
The 5 cm Kampfwagenkanone 39 L/60 anti-tank gun (the same gun used as the main armament of later models of the German Panzer III) on "fortress" mount was ubiquitous on Normandy beaches, deployed in both open emplacements (such as the FV65a ringstand the VF66 beach side hooded stand, or the R600 bunker) and in casemates (R654 and R667).
For the L42 version just cut the barrel shorter as it did not have a muzzle break!
Files available ready to print for both 15mm (1:100) and 28mm (1:56).
Check out the rest of my historically accurate bunkers as were found on the Normandy beaches!
Designed to print easily on any machine in your favorite scale from 6mm to 1:32
When required the models are supplied in different versions optimized for smaller (1:100 or less) and larger (1:50 or more) scales.
All my bunkers are specifically designed for table top gaming, static models and diorama. As such some of them may not include what was underground which in some cases is the largest part of the building, but would be invisible in normal circumstances. All bunkers include however the historically correct internal arrangement. All models have been test printed at both 15mm (1:100) and 28mm (1:56). Whenever possible the bunkers are designed with a removable top and generally include one or more sprue of additional fine details which are not really suitable for FDM printing and should only be printed in resin. When required these details are also supplied in different versions optimized for smaller and larger scales. Please note that while I put the utmost care in all work I do and I did test print all models in advance, it is always possible that there may be some missing file or some unresolved issue that escaped me. If you do find any problem please report it to me ASAP so I can fix it!
For a great concrete look just paint over the FDM print with PVA and lightly dust with very fine sand!
Try to avoid a uniform cover, leave some of the print lines to show and for extra realism try to add a sprinkle of different sized sand
“Wn” is the German abbreviation of Wiederstandnest, which literally means “nest of resistance”. In military English terms, it is a called a "strongpoint". Some of these strongpoints were particularly strengthened as they were expected to play a key role and usually consisted of several linked Wns: they were known as Stützpunkten (support points), abbreviated as “Stp”. For example, The strongpoint at the Pointe du Hoc, was known as Wn75 or Stützpunkt Bayeux 075. All these were organized in Stützpunktgruppe or Strongpoint Groups which in turn belonged to a Küstenverteidigungsabschnitt and Verteidigungsbereich or Defence Area.

When required the models are supplied in different versions optimized for smaller (1:100 or less) and larger (1:50 or more) scales.
The 1:50 scale is suitable for very large 28mm figures.
For printing in 1:56 scale the 1:50 version down to 89.2857% (or Multiply by 0.8929)
For printing in 10mm: scale the 1:100 version down to 66% (or Multiply by 0.6666)
For printing in 6mm: scale the 1:100 version down to 40% (or Multiply by 0.4)
For printing in 1:72 (20mm): scale the 1:50 version down to 69.4444% (or Multiply by 0.6944)
For printing in 1:35: scale the1:50 version up to 142.8571% (or Multiply by 1.4286)
For printing in 1:32 (54mm): scale the 1:50 version up to 156.25% (or Multiply by 1.5625)
