Italian Army 100/17 Modello 14 medium artillery
The 100/17 Modello 14 was a Skoda-designed medium howitzer that made up the bulk of the Italians’ artillery strength. As a whole, Italian artillery was a piecemeal collection from a previous era, although crewmen were well trained and made the most of the equipment they had. The bravery of the Italian artillerymen on the Eastern Front was legendary, often firing over open sights at the approaching enemy in an attempt to stem the Soviet tide.
Contains one metal howitzer with four man crew.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
