Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

German 15cm self-propelled artillery Sd.kfz.138/1 Grille H type

The Grille was a self-propelled artillery developed in Germany during World War II.

It was a 15cm sIG33 heavy infantry gun mounted on a 38(t) tank carriage seized from the Czech Republic.

The first type of the Grile was the H-type, which diverted the body of the 38(t) tank H-type.

The turret and upper armor plate were removed and replaced instead by an open-top fighting compartment.

The armament was a 15cm heavy infantry gun33 .

Originally, the Type K chassis, which was designed specifically for self-propelled artillery, was supposed to be mass-produced from the beginning, but it was put off because priority was given to the anti-aircraft and anti-tank types, and this type, which was converted to a chassis for tanks, was produced first on a temporary basis.

Compared to the Type K, it was more nose-heavy due to the weight of the gun positioned in the front, but it was still used by the same units after the deployment of the Type K.

From February 1943 to September 1944, 396 guns were manufactured by the Czech company BMM.

Includes a booklet (Polish/English) on the actual vehicles and the Battle of Poland, with many photos, so you can enjoy it even if you cannot read.
