The sWu. R. frame launcher, also known as the Nebelwerfer 40/28 cm, was developed in Germany and mainly used by the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS units from 1942 until the end of World War II. This rocket launcher allowed for rapid and effective shelling of enemy positions using 40 cm high-explosive (Sprenggranate) shells and 28 cm incendiary shells. The device was deployed on all fronts, especially during operations in the USSR and Normandy, becoming renowned for its powerful psychological impact and the characteristic whistle of falling rockets.

The set allows you to recreate even the smallest details, such as the frame structure, elevation mechanism, and the distinctive rocket mounts. The box includes a detailed assembly manual and decals for finishing the model to match historically accurate Wehrmacht designs. Additionally, the manufacturer has included small photo-etched parts to provide even greater realism to the finished model.
