Historical Information:

The 10.5 cm leFH 18 (leichte Feldhaubitze 18) field howitzer was developed by the German company Rheinmetall in the 1930s and became the primary artillery weapon for the Wehrmacht during World War II. The first units entered service in 1935. The LeFH 18 L/28 was used on every front of the conflict – from the Polish campaign in 1939, through France in 1940, as well as on the Eastern Front and in the fighting in North Africa. Effective, reliable, and relatively lightweight, it became the most popular German 105 mm howitzer.

Technical Description of the Aber Barrel:

The Aber 35L-038 barrel stands out for its exceptional precision of details. The main body, precisely turned from aluminum, guarantees excellent proportions. The brass muzzle at the end ensures a perfectly reproduced opening and distinctive contours. The metal barrel does not deform and allows for a clear taper of the muzzle, which is difficult to achieve with plastic parts. Installation does not require major modifications, and the final result clearly surpasses the quality of factory plastic components.

• Recommended for: intermediate and advanced military modelers seeking top-quality detailing and kit upgrades
