Deweycat Italian Model 35 149-40 Heavy Howitzer STL pack

  This STL pack contains files for both resin and FDm printing of the Italian Model 35 149mm Heavy Howitzer. It includes an optional mounting plate. The figures in the photos are not included, they are gunners from Iron Chicken’s STL set of the Italian 65mm mountain gun.   While the Italian army did enter WW 2 with a living museum of dated artillery pieces, they did have some newer, impressive ordnance in their livery.   The 149/40 model 35 howitzer entered production shortly before their entry into the war but a total of 60 models were manufactured. It was a large gun and was unique in that the gun trails were stabilized by driving large spikes through the trails into the ground, resulting in a gun that did not move after being set up, which would theoretically result in better accuracy with repeated firings.   The 149/40 Model 35 served in North Africa as well as later with German forces in Italy, where a small batch were produced in the RSI controlled north of Italy, referred
