Modell Trans has just launched a new kit, the 12,2 cm Kanone (r) auf Geschützwagen Lorraine Schlepper (f)
An interesting vehicle of which probably just one was built. After the invasion of France, the German Army seized more than 300 units of the Tracteur Blindé 37L.

They were used as a base for different conversions as either self propelled field artillery or antitank guns.

One of these chassis received a Russian 12.2 Field Howitzer Model 1938, and was used on an armoured train. Captured in Burgundy, 1944, this odd vehicle managed to survive the war.

The kit from Modell Trans is in resin and seems very straightforward to build.
