ACE 72444 Hell Cannon Syrian Artillery 1/72 – Plastic Model Kit

The ACE 72444 Hell Cannon artillery model is a unique offer for modelers interested in modern armed conflicts. This 1/72 scale kit recreates the famous “Hell Cannon” – an improvised howitzer designed and used by Syrian rebels during the civil war in Syria, ongoing from 2011 to the present day. This distinctive cannon was created from available materials and became widely known for its brutal effectiveness and original design.

The model is intended for self-assembly from plastic components – the set does not include glue or paints, allowing the modeler freedom to choose colors in accordance with historical photographs. ACE has paid attention to precise details, reflecting the chaotic character of the improvised military equipment typical of 21st-century asymmetric conflicts. Every part is made using injection molding technology from high-quality plastic, ensuring excellent fit of the pieces and satisfaction in building the model.

The kit allows you to replicate one of the most recognizable symbols of the Syrian war – the Hell Cannon was mainly used by Syrian opposition forces, for example during the siege of Aleppo and the fighting in Idlib province. Built from leftover sewer pipes, tires, and available parts, it had a caliber of about 120-200 mm and was primarily used for shelling government positions and defensive obstacles. Due to its unusual form, the weapon gained huge popularity online and has been the subject of numerous military analyses.
