15cm howitzer Sd.kfz. 135/1 on Lorraine
in 1/72 scale
| Name | 15cm sFH 13 sur châssis Lorraine (Item No. EX7205) |
| Producer | Exo Kit, France |
| Packing | Clear plastic box |
| Type of kit | Resin kit |
| Quality | All parts are relatively well with no bubbles and little fine flash only. The hull is cast with the body in one big piece but I think it has too poor interior. There is big difference between bigger parts that includes only poor rough details and small parts that are well detailed. The chassis is cast in two parts only (wheels and tracks together) and I expect little problems with removing of resin film that covers them. Positive of the kit is detailed howitzer and few details that will complete interior to look better. |

| General Impression & Note |
You should get nice model of self-propelled 150
mm howitzer based on captured chassis Lorraine according my opinion. This
howitzer is known under German name 15cm sFH 13/1(Sf) auf Fw Lorraine
Schlepper(f) Sd.Kfz. 135/1. With reference to ”Achtung Panzer” website
Germans completed 94 pieces of this howitzer. They were used in North Africa and
West Europe where fought against Allies.
I know couple of pictures of this vehicle (or vehicles) captured by British Army in North Africa. It could be interesting theme for nice diorama, couldn’t be? J |
