Trumpeter 02305 1/35 German s.10cm K.18 Cannon - kit highlights

This 1/35 scale kit recreates the German s.10cm K.18 heavy gun as a display-focused medium-artillery subject for hobbyists and collectors who favour external accuracy.

Real-world background: The 15 cm s.F.H.18 developed from earlier World War I pieces such as the s.F.H.13, and the split-trail carriage was adapted to a 105 mm barrel to create the 10 cm s.K.18 heavy gun. Both guns served as principal medium artillery within German battalion organisation. Reference figures in the product information list the s.F.H.18 with a maximum range around 13,370 meters and muzzle velocity near 520 m/s, while the s.K.18 is recorded with a maximum range close to 19,000 meters and muzzle velocity around 835 m/s.

Kit details and build notes: The set combines injection-moulded plastic components with metal parts to enhance key areas. The turned aluminium gun barrel and brass tube give an accurate bore and exterior profile, minimising the need for filler at the muzzle. A metal tow chain and two thick rubber rims are supplied to boost realism. Decals provide German army field-grey camouflage. The kit is unpainted and requires assembly with standard modelling adhesives and paints.
