105mm fH 18

Manufacturer: LEVA Productions (Kit #72 A 17)

From Stephen Brezinski

This a new kit for LEVA and I think it is very nice and unique in the scale. [Note it is not the same gun version as Revell's soft plastic gun or Priesser's 1/87 version.] This German 10.5 cm field howitzer is a combination of the leFH 18 (light field howitzer) with features of the Pak 40 anti-tank gun carriage. This combination was an attempt to lighten the weight of the standard howitzer (represented by Revell's 1/72 scale soft plastic howitzer kit). It is recognizable by the wheels smaller than the standard howitzer but larger wheels than the Pak 40; and the tubular legs of the Pak 40.

These features are very delicately and cleanly rendered by LEVA. I noted no bubbles in my kit. This will go well with LEVA's 105 howitzer ammunition accessories, 72-E-11.
