Italeri 7082 15 cm Field Howitzer / 10,5 cm Field Gun 1/72 – Plastic model kit

Italeri 7082 is a high-quality model kit that enables the construction of two classic German field artillery pieces: the 15 cm sFH 18 (schwere Feldhaubitze 18) and the 10.5 cm leFH 18 (leichte Feldhaubitze 18). Both guns were widely used by the Wehrmacht during World War II and were the basic types of supporting artillery for German infantry on all fronts from 1939 to 1945.

• Scale: 1/72
• User country: Germany (Third Reich)
• Historical period: World War II, years 1939–1945
• Material: high-quality plastic
• Category: plastic model kit
• Catalogue number: Italeri 7082

Both guns are presented in an extremely realistic manner thanks to accurately reproduced barrel constructions, detailed undercarriage elements, and protective shields. The kit is designed with a focus on reflecting details that will be appreciated by both experienced modelers and beginner military enthusiasts. The model allows you to build one of two versions of German field artillery: choose the heavier 15 cm howitzer to depict infantry support barrages, or the lighter 10.5 cm gun, perfect for dioramas and historical battle reconstructions.

The original 15cm sFH 18 was used, among other theaters, during the campaigns in Poland, France, the Eastern Front, and the West, up to the final battles in Berlin. Its range exceeded 13 km, and its ballistics provided effective battlefield support. The lighter leFH 18 was equally popular, and its versatility meant it was adopted by all Wehrmacht divisions.

• The model consists of precisely made parts: barrels, shields, wheels, undercarriage detail elements as well as optional parts allowing you to build one of the two gun versions.
• The kit does not include glue and paints – the use of model paints for plastics is recommended.
• Ideal for World War II history enthusiasts and for battle reenactors on dioramas.

We rate the assembly difficulty at 2/5 – construction offers a challenge suitable for beginner and intermediate modelers. Italeri 7082 is an excellent choice for your own collection or as a gift for a military history enthusiast. We especially recommend it to those building 1/72 scale military vehicle collections and to enthusiasts creating realistic diorama scenes from World War II fronts.
