Thunder 1:35 British 7.2inch Howitzer

The BL 7.2 inch howitzer was a heavy artillery gun used by the British Army during World War II. Beginning in 1940, the World War I-era 8-inch BL howitzers were recased to 7.2 inches (180 mm) and the older carriages were retained even though the original steel wheels were replaced with new wheels. of ball. The new four-ammunition charge increased the range to 15,500 m, but when fired the recoil caused the gun to retract violently and jump rearward. To help eliminate this, ramps were placed behind the wheels.
