Dragon has produced this mortar in 1\/35 plastic kit form already, but now it has proceeded to produce the very first model of another German 8cm mortar. The new item is nicknamed a Stummel-Werfer (“stump projector”) – a Kurzer 8cm Granatwerfer 42 (kz. 8cm Gr.W.42). This mortar was lightened to 26.5kg and had a specially shortened barrel (74.7cm) designed for use by paratrooper units. However, because of the shorter barrel it had a limited range of just 1100m. This drawback meant only 1,591 examples were built before production ceased. It’s a rare weapon but Dragon has captured it in full detail as a Gen2 piece of plastic engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally, Dragon hasn’t produced just a lonely new mortar, for this set includes a complete set of four Gen2 German paratrooper crewmen to go with it! The crewmen are depicted as though they’re enjoying a lull in the fighting. Three crewmen lounge in their dug-in position as a comrade cleans the mortar tube. Each Green Devil figure is beautifully sculpted in a lifelike pose. Their uniforms are sharply and cleanly rendered using typically clever Gen2 parts separation. Indeed, these figures could be used in any scenario modelers choose. Certainly this is a valuable new mortar, and when combined with the fantastic new paratrooper figures, the result is irresistible in 1\/35 scale!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dragon Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51552322191573,"sku":"DML6373","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/dragon-models-6373-1-35-fallschirmjager-w-kurzer-8cm-granatwerfer-42-model-kit.jpg?v=1749400660","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/dragon-models-6373-1-35-fallschirmjager-w-kurzer-8cm-granatwerfer-42-model-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
