First Legion is very pleased to announce the start of the pre-order of the latest additions to our WWII: The Battle of Stalingrad figure range. GERSTAL021 sFH 18 150mm Howitzer with Limber and 5 Crew and GERSTAL022 German Hauptmann in Fur Line Russian Greatcoat! Both of these wonderful sets will be shipping to customers worldwide late December 2010. We certainly hope you enjoy them!
GERSTAL021 sFH 18 150mm Howitzer with Limber and 5 Crew - $435
GERSTAL022 German Hauptmann in Fur Lined Russian Greatcoat - $54.95
The 150mm Schwere Feldhaubitze 18 was the primary WWII German divisional level heavy howitzer during the second World War. With a basic split-trail design and originally envisioned to be towed by horse, it had hard rubber tires and an unsprung axle. A two wheeled limber was added after its initial production, which we have also included in the set, that allowed it to be towed by such vehicles as the SdKfz 7 8 Ton Prime Mover. Our rendition of the gun is extremely well sculpted and beautifully painted and can be setup deployed to fire or limbered up for towing. At Stalingrad, heavy artillery such as the sFH 18 combined with airpower literally reduced the city to rubble and played an important part in each of the offensives that the Germans launched against the beseiged Russians.
As an added feature to our 150mm Howitzer, the gun trails open and close and hook up to the limber for towing by a vehicle. The limber itself is a very highly detailed piece on its own and can be placedbeside the gun and crew when unlimbered to fire or can of course be used to tow the gun by closing the trails, mounting the gun on the limber, and attaching the limber to a future towing vehicle that we’ll release! Further, we have providing two sets of gun brakes for this model, one set that hooks up to the ends of the trails when the gun is unlimbered and a second set to hang over the sides of the trails when the gun is limbered!
In addition to the Howitzer set, we are also pleased to present our German Hauptmann, or Captain, in an appropriated Russian fur lined greatcoat and captured PPSH41 Submachine gun. He looks every part the calm and seasoned combat veteran of the eastern front and is an excellent addition to lead your German trooops into battle.
So it looks like it will be a Stalingrad Christmas!
Best,
Matt
