Dragon 1:35 scale 15cm s.IG.33 auf Fahrgestell Pz.Kpfw.III (Sf)
ermany created a wide number of self-propelled howitzers (SPH)
during WWII, these typically being converted from existing tank
chassis. Indeed, some were even field-improvised conversions,
and this is certainly the case with Dragon’s newest German
kit. It represents a 15cm s.IG.33 auf Fahrgestell Pz.III which, as its name
suggests, mated a 15cm field howitzer with a Panzer III chassis. Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel was seeking heavy artillery mounted
on tracked chassis because horse-drawn or truck-drawn
howitzers were impractical in the desert. This SPH was
used by the Deutsches Afrika Korps, specifically the 90
leichte Infanterie-Division, in North Africa. It first saw
action in September 1942.
Just like its forbear in the desert of North Africa in
WWII, it combines the Panzer III and s.IG.33 howitzer,
both already available in Dragon’s range. However, it’s far
more than just an amalgamation of two kits, because many new
components were required to make this vehicle a reality. The front
armoured shield and the armor plates protecting the sides and rear
of the fighting compartment. The installation of the 15cm howitzer in
this compartment also required new parts. Furthermore, there’s a new
stowage rack mounted on the rear of the engine deck. Not only is this a
unique addition to the Panzer III range, but this novel SPH gives fans of
DAK subjects something new to sink their teeth into!
