Manual

German

heavy gun „17cm Kanone18“

in Heavy

Howitzer Carriage

Schwere deutsche „17cm Kanone 18“ German heavy gun „17cm Kanone 18“

Die ab 1942 von Krupp in Essen gebaute „17cm Kanone 18“

zählte zusammen mit dem „21cm Mörser 18“ zu dem Haupt -

geschütz der schweren deutschen Heeresartillerie im zweiten

Weltkrieg. Die Geschütze waren in Abteilungen zu je drei

Batterien mit jeweils drei Geschützen zusammengefasst. Als

Lafette nutze man die geringfügig modifizierte Lafette des

„21cm Mörser 18“ mit doppelter Rücklaufbremsung durch

Rohr bremse und gebremster Oberlafette. Um das Geschütz in

die Feuerstellung zu bringen wurde die Grundplatte abge-

senkt und mit sogenannten Erdankern fest im Boden befestigt

um den enormen Rückstoss bei der Schussabgabe abzufan-

gen. Weiterhin wurden auch die Räder angehoben sowie die

Unterlafette von der Protze abgehängt. Aufgrund des

Drehzapfens in der Grundplatte war sogar eine Drehung von

360° in der Feuerstellung möglich. Mit einem Höhenricht -

bereich von 0° bis +50° und dem 8.529 mm langen Rohr konn-

te bei Verwendung einer 62,8 kg Sprenggranate eine maxima-

le Schussweite von 28.000 m erreicht werden. Das Gesamt -

gewicht lag bei 23.375 kg in Fahrstellung und 17.520 kg in

Feuerstellung. In der Regel in zwei Lasten transportiert, konn-

te das Geschütz bei schnellen Positionswechseln auch einlastig,

unter anderem vom Sd.Kfz.9 „FAMO“, gezogen werden. Als

einziger Nachteil stellte sich die relativ geringe Lebensdauer

der Rohre von nur 1.500 Schuss heraus.

Wir bedanken uns bei dem

Muzeum Wojska Polskiego in

Warschau, Polen

für die freundliche Unterstützung zur

Realisierung dieses Projektes.

Appeared in 1942, the „17cm Kanone 18“ was, with the „21cm

Mörser 18“ the mainstay of the German heavy artillery during

WW2. It was used by units composed of 3 batteries to three

guns each. The carriage was nearly the same as the „21cm

Mörser 18“, with slight modifications, fitted with a double

action recoil brake, acting on the tube and on the upper car-

riage. To set the gun in battery, the base plate was lowered

and the enormous recoil shock was contained with spades.

The wheels were lifted and the limber was removed. The pivot

contained in the base plate allowed a 360°orientation in firing

position. With an elevation range between 0° and +50° and

the 8.529 mm tube, it fired a 62,8 kg HE shell at the maximum

range of 28.000 metres. The total transport weight was 23.375

kg, the weight in firing position dropped to 17.520 kg without

limber. Usually transported in two parts, for quick changes of

position, the gun could be moved in one single piece, usually

behind an Sd.Kfz.9 „FAMO“ tractor. The main negative point

was the relative short live of the tube, which was restricted to

1.500 shots.

We thank the

Muzeum Wojska Polskiego in Warsaw, Poland

for their kind assistance with the execution of this project.

Should I paint my Revell model before or after it is built? Verified

Revell recommends painting it before building it. In some cases it is smart to partially assemble pieces if they all need to be painted in the same colour.
