Trumpeter 02314 Morser 18 1/35 Scale Overview

The Trumpeter 02314 kit recreates the German 21 cm Morser 18 in 1/35 scale with careful attention to the original dual-recoil layout. The assembly captures the engineering approach that gave the Morser 18 its stable firing setup, making this a rewarding project for modelers who enjoy mechanical detail.

Design Legacy and Modelling Detail

Developed as an evolution of earlier heavy mortars, the Morser 18 introduced a dual-recoil arrangement to control firing forces. This kit reflects that engineering, with parts laid out to reproduce the separate recoil elements and carriage structure for an authentic build experience.

  • Scale: 1:35
  • Length: 423.87mm
  • Width: 82.1mm
  • Plastic parts total: 494
  • Photo etched components: 1 piece
  • Includes: 13 sprues, barrel carriage, and four rubber tires

How does the dual-recoil layout affect assembly?

The dual-recoil design means you will assemble both the barrel and the upper carriage subassemblies so they can move independently. Take care aligning pivot points and use dry fits to ensure smooth movement before final glue application.

What parts need extra attention during build?

Small linkages, the carriage connection and the barrel assembly require careful trimming and test fitting. The single photo etched part is delicate, so handle with fine tweezers and consider bending tools for precise shaping.
