German Fallschirmjäger units defended Italy tenaciously through 1944, notably around Monte Cassino and the Gustav Line, where the 8cm schwere Granatwerfer 34 mortar was their standard indirect-fire support weapon, prized for its accuracy and high rate of fire against advancing Allied troops.
This 1/35 Dragon figure set depicts the multi-man mortar crew - loader, aimer and ammunition carrier - alongside a full mortar assembly, each figure individually sculpted and posed for a realistic firing sequence.
The kit includes the complete 8cm mortar with baseplate and bipod, ammunition crates, and decals.
An ideal supporting-arms addition for a 1944 Italian campaign diorama, complementing Dragon's other Fallschirmjäger infantry figure sets.
