The 7.5 cm anti-tank gun was to become the main and typical anti-tank weapon of the German Army. It was often towed by the 3-ton trator Sdkfz 11. With the progress of the war situation, the gun combined with the chassis of fighting vehicles including the Pzkpfw IV to make up a great number of tank destroyers or self-propelled anti-tank guns that rendered distinguished services thereafter.
Mr. Yoshio Tamiya founded a saw mill/lumber factory in Shizuoka-City. Tamiya ventured into the modeling business in 1948, with a scale wooden ship model kit. Since then, Tamiya has been striving to offer merchandise that can truly be called "First in Quality Around the World."
Now Tamiya is offering more than 3000 different products, both in the fields of precision static models and high performance radio control vehicles. These products are not only sold in Japan but also exported in vast quantities to the United States, Europe, South East Asia, and to many other parts of the world. The standard of excellence achieved by Tamiya is regarded as among the very finest in the world of model hobbies.
