Lorraine Schlepper, Normandy - 1944

Hello friends:

Here is another of my works. I hope you like it

During the invasion of France, hundreds of French Tanks were captured. Regarding the Geschutzwagen, 48 of thes self-propelled guns were produced utilising the chassis of French Hotchkiss H-39 tanks married with a 10.5cm 18/40 Howitzer. Tha type of gun was particulary powerful with a range of dozen km. and a rate of fire of between 6 and 8 rounds per minute, protected by an armoured cockpit.

Kit: RPM 1/35 - This vehicle become represented as part of the 21st Panzer Division - Sturmgeschutz Abteilung 200 and the 8th Panzerartillerie Abteilung / Pz.Art.Rgt. 125 under the Major Becker Command in the combats in Normandy, France 1944.

Lovely model.

I always thought those vehicles looked so badly balanced, like they would fall over backwards if it went up a slope.

 

Awesome as usual.Keep those pics coming.

 

The magazine is a nice touch.

 

Thanks for your kind comments friends!
