General Impression & Note German army used these light field howitzers to support infantry in early years of WW2. These 75 mm howitzer was replaced with the howitzers wit bigger caliber later. Al.by offers also variant with wooden wheels /Item No. 868/. I personally welcome any small accessories as this howitzer is because they make the dioramas much livelier and realistic.

I would like to thank to my Portuguese friend José ”Faustnik” Ventura who swapped this set with me.
