It was designed to provided infantry units with heavy fire support in urban and heavily fortified areas. There were 18 built and they took part in several combat operations in the last year of World War II, notably the Warsaw Uprising and the battle for the bridge at Remagen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe main gun was adapted from a Kriegsmarine depth-charge thrower capable of launching a 15-inch shell. To compensate for the launcher’s limited range, rocket-assisted ammunition was developed and the fearsome weapon was capable of leveling buildings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e The Model\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRyefield’s kit includes the interior and comprises nearly 2,100 plastic parts on 19 sprues each packaged in resealable clear bags.
