German 15cm s.F.H.18 Field Howitzer 1/35 Scale Kit Trumpeter 02304  [TP02304]

Kit summary and historical role of the s.F.H.18

This is a 1/35 scale plastic model kit representing the German 15cm s.F.H.18 field howitzer, created as a detailed static subject suitable for historical collections and display layouts.

The 15 cm s.F.H.18 succeeded earlier heavy howitzers and adopts the split-trail carriage used across German medium artillery. It functioned as a primary medium-caliber piece within artillery battalions, frequently operating alongside the 10 cm s.K.18. Reference performance figures include a maximum range around 13,370 meters and a muzzle velocity close to 520 m/s, indicative of its medium-range support capacity.

Model-specific remarks: the kit contains a high quantity of plastic parts plus metal components for the barrel assembly to aid accurate modelling. Builders should take care with barrel alignment and carriage detailing to achieve the intended field grey finish and realistic presentation.

A good choice for a static artillery project, the kit's metal barrel elements and detailed parts set support an accurate and well-finished display model.
