The Pak 43/41 combined the 8.8cm L/71 gun with the carriage and steel wheels from the sFH 18 15cm Howitzer with the split trails from the leFH18 to produce a gun with good performance but it’s weight made it a job to maneuver and was given the nickname “Scheumtor” (Barndoor) by it’s crews.
The kit consists of 228 parts in olive drab plastic, eleven parts in etched brass, an aluminium 8.8cm barrel plus two short lengths of brass rod and two vinyl tires for more of a multi-media kit than your average plastic kit.
