Product Description

[About the actual vehicle]
-The German large self-propelled heavy mortar, which was developed in 1936, is a curl.
-It was a weapon aimed at capturing the Maginot line, a fortress built by France during the French advance.
-The gun, which has a caliber of 60cm, had a unique dimension with a barrel length of only 5m.
-It is said that a shell with a range of about 7000m and a weight of about 2 tons was able to crush 2.5m thick concrete.
-The body that mounts this huge mortar is made of soft iron and the engine is equipped with a Benz V12 cylinder and a 580 hp diesel engine.
-From 1940 to 1940, seven vehicles including one prototype were made, but a type with a 54cm mortar that reduced the caliber and lengthened the gun to extend the range was also manufactured.
-The type equipped with a 60cm mortar was called Gelate 040, and the type equipped with a 54cm mortar was called Gelate 041. The guns could be replaced and used in the same body.
-The number of wheels changed from eight at the beginning to eleven from No. 3 and improvements continued.
-A shell carrier using the body of the Panzer IV to transport and replenish spare shells was built and acted together.
