81mm Mortar Kit - 1/35

The 81mm mortar is one of the most widely used crew-served weapons in modern warfare, known for its portability, versatility, and devastating firepower. Fielded worldwide under different designations — M252 (U.S.), L16 (Britain/Canada), F2 (Australia), and M8 (Austria) — it provides infantry units with indirect fire support at ranges over 5 km, delivering HE, smoke, and illumination rounds beyond line of sight.

This highly detailed 1/35 scale kit faithfully reproduces the mortar tube, baseplate, bipod, and sight unit in crisp 3D-printed resin. An ideal addition to infantry dioramas, vehicle-mounted displays, or weapons-platoon scenes.

Kit Contains:

• 2 × mortar tubes
• 2 × baseplates (flat & spade)
• 1 × bipod
• 1 × sight unit

Evolving from the French Stokes-Brandt designs of the 1920s, the 81mm mortar became a standard infantry support weapon worldwide. Variants such as the U.S. M1, Japanese Type 97, and British L16 proved decisive in WWII and beyond. Modern models like the M252 and Australian F2 remain in frontline service, continuing a century-long legacy of reliable indirect firepower.
