Product Description

[About the actual vehicle]
--In World War II, the German army developed and deployed a number of self-propelled artillery.
――Among them, the 10.5cm self-propelled howitzer Heuschrecke had a unique structure.
-The mounted main gun had a structure that could be used as a turret by removing the entire turret and installing it on the ground.
--The body is based on the III / IV chassis developed as a chassis exclusively for self-propelled artillery, and the engine laid out in the center of the body has been moved to the rear of the body.
--The body has been extended and a turret has been mounted in the center.
――Folding cranes were installed on the left and right sides of the car body, and the turret could be lifted and lowered behind the car body.
――The turret that was lowered was attached to the pedestal, equipped with wheels, and could be towed and moved.
--The main gun is equipped with a 28 caliber 10.5 cm howitzer le.FH18 / 1 of line metal.
――A prototype vehicle was manufactured in 1943 and tested, but it is said that the trial was completed.

[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the unique self-propelled howitzer, Heuschrecke 10 developed by the German army of World War II on a 1/35 scale.
――The style with a unique mechanism is realistically reproduced.
-The turret, main gun, and body are precisely modeled by making special parts.
-The mechanically finished turret is unique to the open top.
――The body of the 10.5cm howitzer and the gun mount are reproduced in detail.
-Not only the shape of the armor plate of the turret on which it is mounted, but also some rear armor plates can be assembled by selecting opening and closing in the same way as the actual vehicle.
-Furthermore, the turret can be mounted on the vehicle body, or it can be assembled by lowering it and mounting it on an assembly-type carrier to pull it.
――The lower part of the car body is an integrally molded part. The inside of the car body is also reproduced, such as a cannonball rack and a battery.
――The retractable crane on the side of the car body can be assembled by selecting the folded state or the upright state in the same way as the actual car.
-In addition, the track uses a prefabricated magic track. Tighten the suspension.
――The unique mechanism is attractive enough even for a model.
