Trumpeter 1/35 PLA PL96 122mm Howitzer: Kit Overview

The Trumpeter 1/35 PLA PL96 122mm Howitzer model kit gives hobbyists an opportunity to explore detailed artillery modelling at a realistic scale. Based on a historically significant piece, the D-30 family has been influential since the 1960s and this PL96 rendition captures that engineering character for collectors and builders.

Origins and Field Role

The Soviet-designed D-30 Howitzer, noted for its tripod carriage, allows a full 360 degree traverse and has proven a versatile field gun. With a reach past 21 kilometres when using RAP rounds, the system remains active in over 60 nations. The PLA PL96 represents the Chinese adaptation of this enduring design.

Assembly Details and Display Potential

This kit contains more than 140 parts, including one photo-etched component, delivering a satisfying build for experienced modellers. Newly tooled components improve fit and detail, while the supplied rubber tyres add authentic finish for credible display results.
