R677 casemate for 8.8cm Pak 43/41
Regelbau 677 – Schartenstand für 8.8cm Pak 43/41 (not included)
The R677 casemate was one of the most common and effective type of bunker on the Normandy coast (present on Omaha Beach Wn.61 and Wn 72), were would be positioned along the shore to permit enfilade fire along all the beach, with the massive side wall extension facing the sea and protecting the embrasure from naval gunfire. This type of fortification proved to be practically impervious to bombardment and had to be eliminate one by one by close combat assault. It was designed for the fearsome Pak 43 (Panzerabwehrkanone 43) 8.8 cm anti-tank gun, the most powerful anti-tank gun of the Wehrmacht to see service in significant numbers, the same gun used (in a modified form) as the 8.8 cm KwK 43 main gun on the Tiger II tank, the open-top Nashorn and fully enclosed, casemate-hulled Elefant and Jagdpanther tank destroyers.
Historically accurate bunker as was common on the Normandy beaches!
Files available ready to print for both 15mm (1:100) and 28mm (1:56). For a great concrete look just brush it over with PVA and dust with fine sand!
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
The Regelbau (German for "standard design") were a series of standardised bunker designs built with walls up to 3.5 meters thick and forced ventilation.
“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.
