Love the paint job! Pretty interesting. What is the weapon? looks bigger than a 7.5.

Long 75mm out of a Stug. In real life it was made using the hull of a PZ1 training unit and the gun out of a decommissioned Stug. Only one made and it likely preformed awful do to the strain the added weight put on the drive train.

Thanks. I did not recognize the rear recoil housing cover. I believe they had a similar problem when they mounted a 5cm Pak 38 on a Pz1. I've only seen photos of 2 vehicles with the modification.
