TOTW: M113A1G Panzermörser 120 mm

The West German M113A1G Panzermörser 120 mm was a purpose-converted mortar carrier that turned the roomy M113 APC into a mobile, protected indirect-fire system to support Panzergrenadier units. Built by converting existing M113 hulls and fitting them with a 120 mm Tampella-type mortar and associated stowage and fire-control gear, the Panzermörser provided rapid, highly mobile mortar fire while protecting its crew from small arms and shell splinters. Entering service in the 1970s–1980s and later receiving modernization packages (NDV/upgrade programs), the vehicle typically carried on the order of 60–70 rounds and gave commanders a short-to-medium-range (roughly 4–7+ km depending on ammunition) indirect-fire option married to mechanized formations. Deployed at company and battalion level, the M113-based Panzermörser became a pragmatic, cost-effective way for the Bundeswehr to field organic heavy mortar support without developing an entirely new chassis.

  • Incredible 3D Models

    3D designer Bob Mackenzie is a talented artist. Because Bob is also a wargamer he understands the subject. This leads to 3D Models that are unparalleled when it comes to detail and accuracy. Furthermore Bob prints in 3D so he understands how vehicles need to be made to create the ultimate model for your game table.

  • Pre-Supported

    You will receive both the unsupported and pre-supported STL  files optimized for all three scales: 15mm (1:100), 20mm (1:72), and 28mm (1:56). Of course, the files can be re-scaled to any size if your favorite is not on the list.

    All the pre-supported files, in each of the three scales, have been printed successfully on an Anycubic Photon printer.

    Every model has been printed successfully.  Of course, 3D printing has many variables, and printers have different parameters.  Unsupported STLs and Lychee files will be included so you can tweak the supports for your situation.

    We have not tested these models using an FDM printer. However models of a similar quality for our previous BAOR kickstarter have been nicely printed with an FDM printer and there is not reason why the Soviet models should not also print to a similar standard.

  • 3 Different Scales

    All files are optimized for all three scales: 15mm (1:100), 20mm (1:72), and 28mm (1:56). Of course, the files can be re-scaled to any size if your favorite is not on the list.
