Italeri 1/35 15Cm Panzerwerfer 42

Italeri’s 1/35 15cm Panzerwerfer 42 (HC-6562) captures the formidable German rocket artillery mounted on the Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (sWS) half-track. The subject combines a 10‑barrel 15 cm Nebelwerfer 42 launcher with an armoured ammunition compartment and crew protection, reflecting frontline adaptations seen during WWII.

Originally developed to create smoke screens, the Nebelwerfer system was soon employed to fire high‑explosive rockets with devastating effect. On the sWS chassis, additional armour plates reinforced the structure to shield the crew and mitigate the blast effects from the launcher.
