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

Kit introduction for Trumpeter 1/35 s.F.H.18 howitzer

This 1/35 scale plastic model represents the German 15cm s.F.H.18 field howitzer and is aimed at modellers seeking a detailed static artillery subject for museum-style displays.

The 15 cm s.F.H.18 followed earlier heavy howitzers and uses a split-trail carriage typical of German medium artillery. It operated as a primary medium-caliber weapon in artillery battalions, often paired with the 10 cm s.K.18. Published performance data cite a maximum range of approximately 13,370 meters and a muzzle velocity near 520 m/s, consistent with its role as a high-angle support piece.

Notes for builders: the kit includes a high parts count and dedicated metal components for the barrel assembly to improve realism and strength. Careful attention to mounting the metal barrel and finishing the carriage will help achieve an authentic field grey presentation.

Overall, the kit offers substantial detail and metal barrel elements suited to precise static modelling and accurate finishing.
