Historical description

The UE-sWG model represents an unusual vehicle used by German forces during World War II, especially from 1942 onwards. After capturing and requisitioning large amounts of French military equipment, the Wehrmacht used the chassis of lightweight Renault UE tractors for many experimental conversions. One of the most interesting modifications was the installation of powerful 28/40 cm rocket-launching mortars ("Schweres Wurfgerät 40/28"), renowned for their great firepower and versatility on the Eastern front, as well as during urban combat, e.g. at Stalingrad.

These types of constructions were used throughout the second half of World War II. The version presented here is both an interesting historical exhibit and a unique subject for military modelers.
