The Hobby Boss 82487 1/35 scale representation of the PLA PLL05 120mm self-propelled mortar-howitzer delivers a faithful miniature of this contemporary artillery vehicle. Crafted for accuracy, the kit reflects the hybrid mortar-and-howitzer layout of the PLL05 and its distinct wheeled silhouette based on the ZSL-92 6x6 chassis.

Operational Background and Design Notes

The PLL05 combines high-angle indirect fire with extended-range shell trajectories, making it a flexible artillery asset. The real vehicle also offers mobility advantages, capable of road speeds up to 85 km/h and amphibious operation via rear propellers for water crossings.
