IBG 1:35 Skoda 100mm vz 14/19 Howitzer

The Skoda vz.14 (Skoda houfnice vz 14) was an Austro-Hungarian and later Czechoslovak 100 mm towed howitzer from the First World War, the Interwar Period and World War II. The gun went into production in 1914. The total length of the weapon was 1.93 meters, and the weight in combat position - 1,350 kilograms. The maximum range was 8,400 meters. Skoda vz.14 was developed for the needs of the Austro-Hungarian armed forces as a new, light howitzer, supporting the activities of own infantry. The weapon was characterized by good parameters, relatively simple operation and a high degree of reliability. It was used on a large scale by the troops of the Danube Monarchy during World War I, both on the Eastern Front, in battles with Serbia or on the Italian front. After 1918, many howitzers of this type were seized by Italy as war reparations. It is worth noting that in 1919 a modernized version of the howitzer, marked as Skoda vz.14 / 19, appeared, which was exported - already from the independent Czechoslovakia - to, among others, Greece, Yugoslavia and Poland.
