Trumpeter 09535 Grille30-30.5cm(Grw)L/16 Morser BAR (BEAR) in 1/35 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit of a super-heavy self-propelled mortar vehicle used by the German army during World War II. Historically, the Grille or Schwerer Gustav were among the largest self-propelled mortars in the world, designed to support sieges and demolish fortifications. Their immense firepower was employed, among others, during the siege of Sevastopol in 1942. The Grille prototype was based on the chassis of the heavy Tiger tank and mounted a 30.5 cm L/16 cannon, also known as the Morser BAR (BEAR). Although it never entered serial production, this vehicle is a legend of German military engineering and a favorite subject among military modelers.
