German heavy field howitzer sFH 18 in 1/72 scale
| Name | Schwere Feldhaubitze sFH 18 (kat. No. EXM 7231) |
| Producer | Extratech, Czech Republic |
| Packing | Classical carton box with a photograph |
| Type of kit | Resin kit and photo-etched parts |
| Quality |
Traditionally very high quality resin castings in the ”Extratech Class”, thin resin film on some parts is not a problem at all; I found a small bubble in a rim of one wheel. There are 36 resin parts and 58 photo-etched parts in the kit. I have not measured individual parts; the first glimpse suggests that the construction will result in a very nice model of one of the most frequently used German cannons. |
| Instruction sheet | Clear trilingual instructions with a description of the history of the type. The instructions are subdivided into four steps, the fifth one is the colour scheme (we have a choice here: panzergrau or dunkelgelb). |
| Decals | No |
| General Impression & Note | Excellent model of a very popular weapon, which has not been produced yet. The same type of a cannon was used in the SPG Hummel produced once by ESCI; however, with regard to a price of the model (650,- CZK = 22.00 USD) this would be rather expensive ”up-grade” to the plastic granny… |
