GalahadA bunch of models and cutouts/diagrams based on nearly every single type of panzerfaust that was developed or planned by Germany during WW2 plus some fuzes and detonators for them.
The Panzerfaust ("armor fist" / "tank fist") was a family of cheap man-portable anti-tank weapons developed by Nazi Germany during WW2 to combat ever improving armor of the Allied forces.
In short, the developmental history of the panzerfaust began as rather complicated and unreliable short-ranged recoilless guns (not a rocket launcher as many may think) with rather small warheads with limited armor penetration capability, These problems would be later improved upon with new models where the warheads would be made bigger with increased payloads for better armor penetration while also the effective range of the launchers would be consecutively increased, these effective ranges of the launchers were indicated by their model names such as the effective range of a panzerfaust 30 Klein and Gross was 30 meters while the effective range of a later panzerfaust 60 was 60 meters. The general reliability and safety of the launchers were improved upon too with such improvements as the adoption of the lever-like trigger system over the older stamped tubular one of the 30 Klein and 30 Gros and superior fuzes such as the fpz8003 which proved more reliable and safer than the earlier fpz8001 fuzes used in the 30 Klein and 30 Gross.
I tried to model every single type of panzerfaust that was ever conceived by the German but sadly I failed at this task as there just is barely any info out there on some of the more elusive prototypal panzerfausts such as the "splitterfaust" and "faustpatrone 8001"
These models and renders were commissioned by Wild Arms Research and Development.
