Details:
The Soviet Union lost almost 50% of their field guns
in the first six months of WWII. Amongst them were large
numbers of this fine weapon which resulted in the Germans'
adopting it as the FK296(r)(see G78) even mounting them
on some of their Marders (see G77 & G225) and on
the famous "Diana" halftracks that fought
in North Africa. They even produced their own ammunition
for them.
In Soviet
hands they first saw action in the Winter War against
the Finns in 1939, remaining in service throughout the
war.
The
kit comes with optional muzzle brakes and wheels. |
