Pit-Road SG14 IJA 28cm Howitzer with Figure 1/72 – Japanese Siege Howitzer from the Russo-Japanese War Period

Pit-Road SG14 IJA 28cm Howitzer with Figure in 1/72 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit faithfully replicating the famous Japanese 28 cm howitzer used by the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This gun, produced at the Osaka Arsenal and formalized in 1890, was inspired by an Italian design and went down in history thanks to its use during the Russo-Japanese War, especially in the famous battle for Hill 203 (Port Arthur).

The 28 cm howitzer was renowned for its tremendous firepower and its ability to break through fortifications – with it, the Japanese bombarded the Russian fleet in the port of Lushun and destroyed enemy fortifications during sieges between 1890–1910 (mainly the Russo-Japanese War period).
