COBI 2665 Sd.Kfz.138/1 Grille Ausf. M – 1:28 Scale WWII Building Set

Bring history to life with the COBI Sd.Kfz.138/1 Grille Ausf. M. This meticulously designed kit recreates one of the most effective mobile artillery pieces of the Second World War. Because COBI uses the reliable chassis of the Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) as a base, this model offers both structural integrity and historical accuracy.

Historical Background & Combat History

The German military developed the Grille Ausf. M specifically to support fast-moving armored columns. Engineers mounted the powerful 15 cm sIG 33 heavy infantry gun onto a modified tank hull, which allowed the vehicle to deliver devastating fire support without relying on slow, horse-drawn transport.

Furthermore, this Ausf. M variant features a mid-engine layout. This design choice moved the heavy gun to the rear, which significantly improved weight distribution and protected the crew. Consequently, these vehicles became vital assets on the Eastern Front, especially during the intense defensive battles following the Battle of Kursk. In addition to their service in the East, the Grille saw extensive action during the Battle of Normandy and the Ardennes Offensive (Battle of the Bulge). In these theaters, the vehicle’s ability to deploy rapidly made it a constant threat to Allied infantry forces.
