CMK RA059 German WWI 7.58 cm Leichter Minenwerfer 1/35 is a carefully crafted plastic model kit that faithfully reproduces the German light trench mortar from World War I. This model has been prepared in the popular 1/35 scale, dedicated to advanced historical modelers seeking authentic details and high-quality workmanship.

The original 7.58 cm Leichter Minenwerfer was a weapon developed by the German Rheinmetall factories. Work on it began in 1909, inspired by experiences from the Russo-Japanese War. The design was characterized by a low weight (approx. 147 kg), allowing for relatively easy transport on the battlefield, a high rate of fire, and the ability to attack enemy fortifications thanks to its distinctive high-arc trajectory. The weapon was intensively used by the German Empire in positional warfare on the Western Front during the fierce trench battles. In 1916, a modernized version with a longer barrel was introduced, also adapted for direct fire, which allowed the 7.58 cm Minenwerfer to be used as an improvised anti-tank gun.
