Zvezda 3583 German 120mm Mortar 42 w/Trailer and Crew (1/35)

The Zvezda 3583 German 120mm Mortar 42 w/Trailer and Crew 1:35 scale plastic model kit is an excellent choice for modelers interested in World War II history and German military equipment. This set includes a faithfully reproduced 120 mm Mortar Model 42, a transport trailer, and a four-man crew with detailed figures, making the finished model truly impressive.

The model depicts the German Granatwerfer 42 (GrW 42) mortar, which was developed based on the Soviet 120mm mortar Model 1938, captured and copied by the Germans. Its production began in 1942 as a supplement to the infantry support weaponry of the Wehrmacht. The GrW 42 was widely used on all fronts from 1942 to 1945, both in offensive and defensive operations. It provided substantial firepower thanks to its range of over 6 kilometers and the ability to deliver sustained indirect fire.

The Zvezda 3583 kit is made of high-quality plastic characterized by precise detail reproduction – both the mortar’s structural elements and the transport trailer are accurately represented. The box also includes detailed German soldier figures in realistic poses, which significantly enliven any diorama or display. The model does not include extra accessories such as resin parts or metal barrels, but all components are made from easy-to-work-with plastic, which simplifies assembly. Thanks to separate elements for ammunition loading and trigger mechanism, the model allows you to present the mortar in various combat configurations.
