1/48 German 38cm Assault Mortar Sturmtiger Model Kit

Product Details:
  • PRODUCT CODE32591
  • PRODUCT NAME1/48 German 38cm Assault Mortar Sturmtiger Model Kit
  • DESCRIPTIONThis rather rare WWII German AFV featured a fearsome 38cm rocket launcher mounted upon the proven Tiger I chassis, and was developed for use against heavily fortified enemy positions, against which it would fire 1.5m long, 350kg rocket-powered projectiles. In terms of survivability, too, the Sturmtiger's fighting compartment was well-equipped, with 15cm of frontal armor and 8cm on the sides. All told, a mere 18 examples were produced, between August and December 1944; they were deployed in occupied Poland, and even on German home soil as the conflict ground to its conclusion.
Features:
  • This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit recreating the Sturmtiger. Length: 133mm, width: 78mm.
  • The powerful form of the vehicle is accurately captured using an intuitive parts breakdown.
  • Rifling detail has been molded into the barrel of the stubby main gun.
  • Fighting compartment armor plate parts breakdown was based upon the weld lines of the actual vehicle.
  • Main gun offers traverse, elevation and depression.
  • Assembly-type tracks feature 1-piece straight sections.
  • Comes with a full body figure depicting a soldier standing outside the vehicle.
  • Weights are included for installation in the hull, giving a realistically heavy feel.
