Roco 15cm Panzerwerfer 42 auf SWS

An armoured self propelled multiple rocket launcher, who doesn't need one of these?The Panzerwerfer 42 auf Maultier was rather more common but Roco went with the SWS version as they already made the SWS chassis and they look fairly similar. This was another Bring and Buy item from COW, and I thought it would be handy for all sorts of things in various levels of game.


Like its 37mm Flak pal, this is really nicely moulded, especially the definition on the external ammo bin lids. 


The nebelwerfer mount looks quite imposing too. You can see the engine deck moulding well.


Rear doors and ammo racks.


This one also took and inkwash well over the camo scheme, really bringing out the hatches and wheel detail. I used outline balkan crosses for this one, which I generally prefer on late war vehicles, but my stocks are getting a bit low.

  1. Interesting! Gives me an idea for a possible kitbash/scratchbuild...

    1. Well, you can put a gun on the back of pretty well any German vehicles, and it looks like rocket launchers were not different. My Chamberlain and Doyle has a whole chapter of them.
