The 10.5 cm leFH 18M was the standard German divisional field howitzer used during the Second World War. It was designed and developed by Rheinmetall after the war broke out in an effort to get more range from the basic leFH 18 design. A muzzle brake was fitted and the recoil system adjusted to allow the use of a more powerful charge and new long-range shell. Generally it did not equip independent artillery battalions until after the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943. 53 were also exported to Finland, where they were known as 105 H 33.

Some time ago I saw on internet a picture that shows some childs playing in an abandoned cannon in Russia and it took inmediately my attention. It’s an idea that is very close to the kind of models i want to do, small stories with soft conversions that are far away in meaning from the clasical soldier posing, very close to military models. As it was a not very complex project I decided to give it a chance.

    preciosa. lo unico q no me gusta es q podria componer mejor la escena. pero es muy bonita y los topnos le dan una sensacion q encaja muy bien con la historia de la pieza. . buen trabajo
