Medieval Field Powder Artillery Model Kit

Medieval Field Powder Artillery - a historically accurate model kit featuring early gunpowder artillery from the 14th and 15th centuries. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of military history.

Historical Background: The 14th century marked the beginning of the gunpowder artillery era. Early cannons were cast from copper or bronze, or forged from soft iron. Due to the lack of advanced drilling techniques, barrels were crafted by welding metal strips together and reinforcing them with hoops.

These early weapons were relatively weak, limiting their firepower. Weighing between 20-80 kg with a caliber of 70-90 mm, they became more advanced in the 15th century when mounted on mobile carriages. Gunpowder artillery played a crucial role during the Hundred Years' War, used in both field battles and sieges.

Kit Includes: Plastic parts to assemble 3 cannons, 10 infantry figures, and 2 horses. Ideal for creating detailed dioramas or expanding your collection of military miniatures.
