German 21 CM Howitzer

Ralph Lovett · General

I believe the main difference are the wheels.�I�is likely that the different barrel is the late war long barrel as opposed to the 1912 model.� I have a few photographs of the 21cm on my web site plus detailed photographs of the sight:

THE OLD LANCER · Colonel

Hi Hap,
Seen your question on German 210 mm Howitzer, i don't know what scale you are building in.� But if of any help go to www.tarrantstoysoldiers.com/mount.html� You will find the kit on page 12.� Picture shows piece with field wheels, kit is in 54mm scale.� I hope this is of some help.

Thanks, the photos are helpful.� The kit I am building is the Verlinden 1/35 scale kit and it is clear it has many deficiencies from the photos I've seen.� The barrel was not correct at all and I have reshaped it and reset it based on the one you mention.� Of course that is assuming the same basic gun was used in the WWII version.� The carriage is the metal piece and it does have the heavy steel wheels with rubber surface tread.� I've seen no documentation on it but I must admit I am not up on artillery subjects.� Most of my projects are armor based.� Here is a link to the kit as produced:

But as I got into it I found some problems that needed to be addressed.� With your photos the sight should be quite easily detailed.
