Product overview This Roden 1:35 scale kit recreates the British BL 8-inch Howitzer Mk.VI used during World War I. The kit captures the howitzer’s heavy, artillery‑park appearance with period‑correct details: boxy trails, large spoked wheels, and the gun shield and recoil mechanism visible in the carriage area. It’s intended for modellers comfortable with medium‑to‑advanced assembly and weathering.
