1:72 Heller 35803 Panzerhaubitze 2000 (PzH 2000) - German Self-Propelled Howitzer - Starter Kit Plastic Model kit

An imposing turret, an exceptionally long 155 mm gun barrel and the robust appearance of modern German artillery: the Panzerhaubitze 2000 is one of the world's most advanced self-propelled howitzers. With the Heller 35803 Panzerhaubitze 2000 Starter Kit, you can recreate this impressive military vehicle as a plastic model kit in 1:72 scale. Its distinctive armoured hull, wide tracks and powerful artillery assembly capture the unmistakable appearance of the original vehicle. This Starter Kit is an appealing choice for modellers discovering modern military vehicles or expanding an existing collection.

The Panzerhaubitze 2000 was developed to replace the older M109 self-propelled howitzers operated by the German Bundeswehr. Designed by German defence manufacturers, the vehicle entered production in 1998. The PzH 2000 combines a 155 mm Rheinmetall L/52 howitzer with an advanced automatic loading system and modern fire-control equipment. This allows it to fire several rounds in rapid succession and engage targets accurately at considerable distances. A powerful MTU diesel engine producing approximately 1,000 hp provides excellent mobility despite the vehicle's weight of more than 55 tonnes. The Panzerhaubitze 2000 has seen operational service in Afghanistan and has also been adopted by several European armed forces, including the Netherlands.

Heller presents this modern German self-propelled howitzer in an accessible Starter Kit edition. The model comprises 113 parts and accurately captures the vehicle's characteristic appearance, with particular attention to its long gun barrel, large armoured turret and tracked chassis. The included decals provide two marking options for German Bundeswehr vehicles. The detailed construction offers an excellent foundation for realistic military camouflage painting and subtle weathering. Thanks to its compact scale, the completed PzH 2000 is particularly suitable for a modern military diorama or a collection of German armoured vehicles.
