This is a 1/35 Plastic German 38cm Assault Mortar for Sturmtiger. This kit is recommended for age 10 and up. A very rare variant of the much feared Tiger I heavy tank, was the "Sturmtiger" assault weapon that mounted a gigantic 38cm caliber mortar on the tank chassis. Development was initiated in August 1943 and was intended for use against heavily fortified areas. The short barreled L/5. 4, type RW61 mortar was originally developed by Rheinmetall-Borsig, for the German navy's land-based protection against an enemy submarine attack. In order to withstandthe heavy recoil of up to 40 tons, the Tiger I's sturdy chassis was selected. A decision was made to use only those chassis/hulls that were sent back from the front, so that new production of the tank would not be affected. A lighting compartment was formed of a box-like superstructure which was bolted to the lower hull itself. FEATURES: Detailed plastic parts attached to sprues and molded in light brown and black. Highly accurate static display model. One lifelike crew figure with realistic expression. Detailed molded track lines. Realistically reproduced exterior and interior. Ammunition rack included. 38cm rockets and other weaponry included. Loading crane located at rear of tank. Shovel located on side of tank. Waterslide decals.
