WWII British 6 pdr Anti-Tank Gun Later Version 1:56 scale
$7.00
This classic British WWII anti-tank gun started as just the main gun mount and barrel for a 1/28th scale Deacon 6 pdr SPG that I created for a commission order. Having the main weapon I could not stop myself from continuing to develop the wheeled version. The early version of the gun has been printed and sold on Ebay since April 2021, it has taken me a year to get round to doing the design work and update to achieve this later version.
This listing focuses on the Later version of the British 6 pdr 57mm Anti-Tank Gun. The gun has a barrel which was about 37cm long than the earlier version and benefits from a flash hider mussel break. You will receive files sufficient to print the gun in a number of ways:
- Deployed, breach closed for firing, gun sight cover open.
- Deployed, breach open for loading, gun sight cover open.
- Towed version. Trail legs closed and secured. Hand breaks for the road wheels not applied. Gun sight cover closed. Ready ammo removed from behind shield.
I have included some pre-supported versions of the main parts. The supports tend to come away from the main carriage in one piece, see the screen shot image for detail. Those under the main shield and gun need to be removed separately. Take care removing the support material from around the elevation wheel. This can be tricky so a file for a repair piece has been included. There are many thin and detailed parts on the gun so patience when you clean the print supports away. Hand breaks, levers near the breach, the open gun sight cover, the elevation wheel, the handle grips on the trail arms, the locking army in the open position to secure the trail legs together are all delicate.
The model is also enhanced by files offering you an open and closed ammunition case.
Each gun will generally need the files for:
- Road wheels
- Main Carriage
- Gun and Main Gun shield.
- Front Gun Shield.
- Elevation Wheel Repair. Always include this in your printing, adds only a few mins but stops your cursing if you have mishap when cleaning supports.
Depending on which variant of the gun you are printing you will need to choose the appropriate Front Shield. Deployed or Towed.
A total of 16 files are included.
If you want the Earlier Version of the 6 pdr there is a separate listing and if you want both there will be an option to buy both early and late guns together in one package at a slightly cheaper combined price.
DO NOT rescale these files down to 1/72 or 1/100 they wont give a reliable outcome I will investigate producing “hardened” files for those scales.
You can confidently enlarge these files up to 1/28th scale as this was the scale at which I originally did the design work.
This model was designed by Neal Bowskill Copyright May 2022. No printing of these files for commercial gain is permitted.

Gardenshedprinting is a small family concern developed out of our own interest in modelling and wargaming. The joy of being able to print so many unavailable models for ourselves soon led to the realisation that we could print and sell these models on Ebay and our own Website. Since 2019 we have seen the demand for our printed models increase and with that demand came requests for models we could not find as STLs on the many websites now offering them. Spurred on by the offers of commissions to design these models we have progressively added to our own range of very niche vehicles and at times small pieces of scenery and scenic scatter. You will find that our range of designs jumps around from once nation to another. From support vehicles to guns and a few heavier tanks. If you are seeking something different we might just be able to offer it.
