Its distinctive feature was the use of the carriage from the PaK 40 anti-tank gun, which significantly improved its mobility and transport. The leFH 18\/40 served in German artillery on the Eastern and Western fronts as well as in North Africa, from 1942 until the end of the war in 1945. It was one of the most common types of light field artillery in the Wehrmacht.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eModel features and extras\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The AFV Club kit offers a highly detailed replica, including realistically reproduced breech mechanisms, a richly detailed carriage, and ammunition elements.
