In WWII, rocket artillery was still in its infancy, though several effective systems were developed by both sides of the conflict (e.g. Russian Katyusha and German Nebelwerfer). One of Germany’s first rocket weapon systems was the Schweres Wurfgera‘t 41, which translates as “heavy throwing apparatus”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis weapon was essentially a wooden or steel framework in which crates containing rockets could be placed. The crates would be inclined at a particular angle towards the enemy, and the rockets could then be fired. Rockets were either 280mm in diameter for HE or 320mm for incendiary, with the former having a range of 1920m and the latter 2195m. Introduced into combat in 1941, its level of accuracy was somewhat crude, but the “howling cow” (as it was nicknamed) could have a devastating effect on enemy positions and morale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDragon now provides modelers with an accurately proportioned Schweres Wurfgera‘t 41. The wooden frame is a completely new tooling, while the steel rocket crates are produced by sophisticated photo-etched parts. Included in the set are both 28cm and 32cm rockets that can fit inside their launch crates. The set even includes “rocket men” to operate the system, these crewmen dressed in parkas for a wintertime period. These figures can be posed as though realistically operating the rockets. This is an unusual weapon, and Dragon’s new set allows modelers to depict an authentic vignette of a “howling cow”!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dragon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51521859617035,"sku":"6509","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/dragon-hk-6509-schweres-wurfgerat-4041-with-crew.jpg?v=1749144255"},{"product_id":"dragon-6664-1-35-sd-kfz-251-1-251-22-ausf-d-7-5cm-pak-40","title":"Sd.Kfz. 251\/1 - 251\/22 Ausf.

The 8.8cm gun appeared in the guise of the FlaK 18 and FlaK 36\/37, which have already appeared in kit form in Dragon’s 1\/35 scale range. An even more potent version of this famous gun was the PaK 43, which had an L\/71 caliber. This same gun was fitted in the Jagdpanther, Hornisse\/Nashorn and Ferdinand\/Elefant tank destroyers. A mounted version of the same weapon was fitted in the Kingtiger, where it was known as the KwK 43. The weapon was enormous, measuring 6.4m long, and the ammunition used an 82.2cm-long casing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDragon has now released a 1\/35 scale kit of the PaK 43\/3 L\/71, a gun originally destined for insertion in the Jagdpanther tank destroyer. The weapon comes with its Behelfslafette (this German term translates as ‘simplified gun mount’) useful for static defense. This cruciform platform is fully functional, with the legs able to swing up or down. Not only does the kit come with the simplified mount, but there is also a gun carriage based around Sd.Ah.202 limbers designed to transport the weapon and its cruciform mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is thus very versatile, allowing modelers to show the cannon in transport mode on wheels, or dismounted ready for combat on its legs! Such an ad hoc arrangement of weapons and simplified construction was typical of the late-WWII period as Germany struggled to field as many antitank weapons as possible to keep its enemies at bay. The massive 8.8cm gun barrel is molded as one piece thanks to slide molds. The breech is workable too, which opens up the possibility of inserting a shell in an action scene. This is a high-quality kit of a rare piece of German artillery, ideal for a dramatic late-war diorama.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dragon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52555795169547,"sku":"6522","price":53.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/6522box2025_1400x_f14f6d12-5d7f-4c13-9ac0-b639fd9549d2.jpg?v=1762101780"}],"url":"https:\/\/anglia-models.com\/de\/collections\/dragon-figures-1-72.oembed","provider":"Anglia Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
