This product is an excellent replica of the famed Swedish “Leather Guns,” which played a key role during the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648). These models transport us back to the early 17th century, a period when Sweden’s military technical innovations under King Gustavus II Adolphus permanently changed the face of European warfare.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Swedish “leather gun” was an experimental type of light artillery, featuring a wooden barrel wrapped in layers of leather and reinforced with metal bands. This solution increased the mobility of the gun, fitting into the broader doctrine of “war of maneuver” that dominated Swedish tactics. Leather Guns were successfully used in battles such as Breitenfeld (1631), providing Swedish troops with fire support during rapid battlefield maneuvers. Although the durability of these cannons proved limited, their impact on the development of light artillery was invaluable.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1:72\u003c\/strong\u003e – ideal for dioramas and Thirty Years’ War battle reconstructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: \u003cstrong\u003eSweden\u003c\/strong\u003e, period: \u003cstrong\u003eThirty Years’ War, 17th century\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: \u003cstrong\u003eplastic assembly figures\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: \u003cstrong\u003eplastic\u003c\/strong\u003e; the kit does not include glue or paints, allowing for individual choice of tools and colors according to the modeler’s preference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSet contents: \u003cstrong\u003eSwedish artillery crew figures and the Leather Guns themselves\u003c\/strong\u003e, in quantity and configuration according to the manufacturer’s specification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNo included extras such as metal gun barrels or resin parts – this set is intended for self-assembly and painting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuild difficulty: \u003cstrong\u003e2\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e – suitable for both beginner and intermediate historical modelers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRecommendation: \u003cstrong\u003ehighly recommended\u003c\/strong\u003e for both 17th-century military collectors and Thirty Years’ War enthusiasts; enables the creation of authentic field scenes or dioramas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    If you are looking for a unique addition to your historical collection, the Mars 72100 Swedish Leather Guns TYW set combines educational value with precision craftsmanship and historical authenticity.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54720921534798,"sku":"MARS72100","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5149\/0638\/files\/cb8d8994ab7091a00766a5a37d629a3c.jpg?v=1755509015","url":"https:\/\/plastmodel.fr\/en\/products\/34817-mars-72100-swedish-leather-guns-tyw-172","provider":"Plastmodel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
