One solution was to mount artillery howitzers on surplus tracked chassis such as the Czech-manufactured Panzer 38(t). In this way the Grille (German for “Cricket”) was created, which mounted a 15cm sIG.33 infantry gun. Because of a shortage of the new 38(t) Ausf. M chassis, the first 91 Grilles were based on the older rear-engine Ausf. H chassis. However, Dragon has announced a fine new 1\/35 scale kit of the more common Ausf. M version of the Sd.Kfz. 138\/1 Grille. This design featured a mid-engine layout, which allowed the 15cm schweres Infanteriegeschu\"tz 33 gun to be mounted further back on the hull. A total of 282 were produced in 1943.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Dragon’s superlative kit features a newly tooled s.IG.33\/2 gun, which is based on intensive research conducted on actual weapons. The gun is fully detailed, including the carriage, while the rifling grooves inside the aluminum gun barrel have a realistically reproduced twist. Another exciting feature is Dragon’s “Razor Edge” molding technology that replicates the original vehicles’ armor plates with ultra-thin precision in 1\/35 scale. All the interior detail of the open-topped fighting compartment is also faithfully rendered. Widespread use is made of multimedia materials such as photo-etched metal to give the highest degree of finesse. This exciting new artillery model from Dragon should receive a barrage of applause from fans of German artillery pieces!\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\nKit Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSCALE: 1:35\u003cbr\u003e\nCase Pack: 20 Pieces\u003cbr\u003e\nBox Size: 9.6\" x 15\" x 2.8\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dragon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46654063935744,"sku":"DML6429","price":59.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/dml6429-135-dragon-sdkfz.1381-geschatzwagen-38-m-fr-sig.332-smart-kit-squadron-model-models__08680.1741265341.jpg?v=1746950534","url":"https:\/\/fusionscalehobbies.com\/products\/dragon-1-35-dragon-sd-kfz-138-1-geschatzwagen-38-m-fr-s-ig-33-2-smart-kit","provider":"Fusion Scale Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
