<b>About the Heuschrecke Ivb "Grasshopper"</b> <br />Heuschrecke (translated as
“Grasshopper”) might be a mouthful for some, but it’s certainly more concise
than 10.5cm leFH18/1 L/28 auf Waffenträger GW IVb! This lengthy nomenclature
refers to a special self-propelled howitzer based on the chassis of the
ubiquitous Panzer IV tank. It featured a 10.5cm gun mounted in a turret with
360º traverse. However, this Grasshopper had a special ability up its sleeve.
The vehicle had a lifting gantry installed on the superstructure rear that could
remove the turret and emplace it on the ground. Alternatively the turret could
be placed on a wheeled carriage and towed behind the vehicle. This then allowed
the Grasshopper to act as an ammunition carrier. This was a novel idea but it
didn’t really catch on for obvious reasons, with just three prototypes built in
1943. <br /><br /><b>About this kit</b> <br />Though the Heuschrecke 10 remained an
experimental vehicle built by Krupp, Dragon has broadened its appeal by
releasing it as a mainstream 1/35 scale kit. Whether with turret installed, or
emplaced, or towed behind, this makes a visually attractive subject, and is one
sure to raise any viewers’ curiosity. To create a vehicle this unique, a whole
host of new parts were molded by Dragon – for instance, the turret, gun and
chassis are brand new. As is necessary in an open-topped vehicle, the turret
interior is fully fitted out, as is the fighting compartment in the hull. This
model operates just like the original prototypes, with the lifting gantry being
moveable and the turret able to be carried on the purpose-built carriage. The
Grasshopper was based on the hull designed for the Hummel, so Dragon’s model
accurately reflects the lengthened chassis. Grasshoppers have never been so
versatile or interesting, and until now, they have been impossible for modelers
to replicate in 1/35 scale!</P>
