Need a house demolished? Look no further than the German Sturmtiger! There’s
nothing gentle about this vehicle also known as the 38cm RW61 auf Sturmmo"rser
Tiger, for its huge 38cm mortar mounted on a robust Tiger I chassis was designed
to destroy buildings and strong-points. Interestingly, the mortar fired rocket-assisted
ammunition, with vents in the wall of the gun tube designed to exhaust the gases
forward. The 38cm weapon had a creditable maximum range of 4,600m. The turret
was replaced with a fixed casemate, and the whole vehicle weighed 65 tons.
Only 18 such Sturmtiger vehicles were converted by Alkett at its Berlin-Spandau
plant from August to December 1944. They were mainly used in the defense of
Germany, and this is the case with the subject of Dragon Armor’s latest release.
It’s been some time since Dragon Armor released a 1/72 scale Sturmtiger, and
they’ve all well and truly disappeared from shop shelves…But now they’re back!
This Sturmtiger model is from an unidentified unit fighting in the Fatherland
in 1945, and it has an all-new camouflage scheme of mottled green over a sand-yellow
base. The expertly painted and weathered model is fully detailed, and with its
large-caliber gun, it’s bound to score a big hit with collectors!
