Dragon 6857 Geschutzwagen 38 H fur s.IG.33/1 Initial Production w/Gun Crew 1/35

The Dragon 6857 Geschutzwagen 38 H fur s.IG.33/1 Initial Production w/Gun Crew model in 1/35 scale is an offering from the renowned manufacturer Dragon, intended for advanced military modelers. The kit depicts a German self-propelled gun mounted on the chassis of a French Hotchkiss H39 vehicle, adapted during World War II. This vehicle was used by the German Army (Wehrmacht), mainly on the Eastern Front and in the Balkans between 1942-1945.

The Geschutzwagen 38 H fur s.IG.33/1 was created as a result of converting captured French Hotchkiss H39 tanks. The Germans adapted them for the role of light fortification destroyer and infantry support, mounting a 150 mm sIG 33/1 gun on the chassis. These vehicles were used during the suppression of partisan uprisings and for offensive operations on less demanding sectors of the front, where standard German vehicles would have been too costly to maintain.

The Dragon 6857 is a high-quality plastic model kit (injection-molded kit), which features extremely detailed reproduction of the hull, chassis, and armament components. The complete kit also includes figures of German crew operating the gun, allowing for the creation of a realistic diorama scene straight out of the box. Additional advantages include photo-etched parts, mesh elements, and precisely recreated segment tracks, which significantly increase the level of realism.
