Bronco CB35005 10.5cm leFH18(SF) auf Geschutzwagen 39H(F) – plastic model kit 1:35

We present a high-quality plastic model kit Bronco CB35005 10.5cm leFH18(SF) auf Geschutzwagen 39H(F) in 1:35 scale. This is an extremely detailed miniature of a German self-propelled howitzer, mounted on the chassis of the captured French Hotchkiss H39 light tank, produced by the renowned company Bronco Models.

Historical background of the vehicle

The model represents the German self-propelled field howitzer 10.5 cm leFH 18(SF), which was created by adapting the French Hotchkiss H39 light tank (designated by the Germans as Geschutzwagen 39H(F)). These vehicles utilized French tanks captured at the beginning of World War II, which were subsequently reconfigured by the Germans as carriers for their own guns and howitzers. The converted machines were used in combat on the Western Front, mainly during the occupation of France, and later during the fighting in Normandy in 1944. This is an unusual example of German field engineering from the World War II era, used from around 1942 until the end of the war.
