German artillery? (1 Viewer)

[larso]

I'm putting together my next order and I was reminded about the lack of WW2 German artillery. Yes there's the CTS 88 and TSSD did a Pak 40 but there are no howitzers or bog standard 105 or 155 pieces. Perhaps someone will fill this gap. CTS have recently brought out a crew at least. I'd also be happy to see a Wespe or Hummel, as they'd fit the bill very nicely!

One can hope, but don't hold your breath. FoV hasn't released anything new for quite a while, 21C is long dead, and I haven't seen anyone step into the 1/32nd scale market for ground vehicles. German 105s were common during WW2, but not in toys or even models. Even the German heavy mortars aren't well represented. CTS (or some such) did a six-barrel Nebelwerfer. 21C did the short 7.5cm infantry howitzer and a PAK 40 and an 8.8cm FLAK but no other guns that I can remember. Pz IV chassis have been done by 21C and Monogram Models, but neither made the open-top SPs.

To get a number of German guns one needs to step down to 1/72nd or 1/87th scales.

Italeri does a nice PaK 40 with nice figures.

21st Century had a Nebelwarfer (sp).
