Revell 03176 German heavy gun 17cm Kanone 18 (1/72) – Plastic model kit

Revell 03176 German heavy gun 17cm Kanone 18 in 1:72 scale is a precisely reproduced plastic model kit representing one of the most powerful German field guns used during World War II. The 17 cm Kanone 18 is a piece of German-designed artillery that entered service around 1942 and was used by the Wehrmacht until the end of the conflict in 1945. This heavy field gun was designed to support operations on both the Eastern and Western Fronts with high performance in long-range artillery fire.

The original 17cm Kanone 18s were used, among others, in the Battle of Kursk, on the Gustav Line in Italy, and during the defense of Berlin. The range of this gun reached up to 29 km, which provided German units with significant firepower superiority over many opponents. Due to its significant weight (over 17 tons), special carriages were used for its transport, and the artillery system itself could be disassembled into two parts for easier relocation.

The Revell 03176 model faithfully captures the construction details such as the distinctive barrel, gun carriage elements, and realistically rendered elevation and servicing mechanisms. The kit is made up of precisely cast plastic parts (glue and paints not included), allowing for a high level of realism in the finished model. The kit is intended for self-assembly, encouraging the development of manual and modeling skills.
