Mauser Tankgewehr M1918 — German WWI Anti-Tank Rifle (Scalable 1/144 To 1/6, Multi-Thickness Set)

Highly detailed model of the Mauser Tankgewehr M1918, the world's first purpose-built anti-tank rifle. Known by the Allies as the "K-步枪" or "Tank Gun," this massive 13.2mm weapon was Germany's desperate answer to the threat of British tanks in World War I. Capable of penetrating the armor of early tanks at ranges up to 300 meters, the M1918 was a game-changer on the battlefield, forcing tank designers to rethink their approach to armor.

This model captures the raw, brutal engineering of the era, featuring the iconic long barrel, distinctive muzzle brake, bipod, and the heavy bolt action required to handle the powerful cartridge. An essential centerpiece for any WWI diorama, trench scene, or miniature firearms collection, now scalable from a micro-diorama piece to a stunning, life-sized replica.

• Accurate representation of the M1918 with all key features:
— Long, slender barrel with perforated heat shield
— Distinctive wooden stock and pistol grip
— Adjustable bipod with spike feet
— M1918 recoil mechanism and bolt
— Separate trigger guard and magazine
— 13.2mm round cartridge included

• 4 Thickness Options for Ultimate Versatility:
— 1/144 Scale: Perfect for dioramas, gaming pieces, and micro-builds.
— 1/72 Scale: Standard display scale for historical accuracy.
— 1/48 Scale: Large display piece with maximum detail retention.
— 1/6 Scale: Ultimate "Hero" piece for large-scale display, cosplay props, or museum-quality replicas.

• Default scale is 1/48, comfortably printable from 1/144 up to the massive 1/6 scale.
• Suitable for both static display and diorama integration.

Printability:
• EXPERT LEVEL: Not for beginners.
• Requires extensive manual support placement, especially on the bipod legs and barrel.
• Requires a thorough understanding of resin 3D printing techniques.
• Thicker parts for critical components (stock, barrel, bipod) to prevent breakage during printing and handling.
• Separate components for easier printing and assembly:
— Barrel and stock are printed separately for optimal strength.
— Bipod legs are separate to avoid support artifacts on the feet.
— Small parts (bolt, cartridge) sized for their respective scales.
• Assembly Instructions:

Assemble the bipod legs.
Attach the barrel to the receiver.
Install the bolt and trigger mechanism.
Attach the stock and grip.
Mount the barrel assembly to the bipod.
Add the cartridge and accessories.
Whether you're recreating the trenches of the Somme, building a WWI miniature collection, or creating a museum-quality replica, the Mauser Tankgewehr M1918 brings authentic historical weight to your collection.
