1:72 Zvzeda 8014 Siege Machines No.1 Plastic Model kit

Throwing machines have been used to besiege enemy fortresses since ancient Greece and until they were replaced by cannons. For all their imperfections, they were a most formidable tool for destroying enemy fortifications. Ballista, throwing arrows and spears at the enemy, was very dangerous for the enemy garrison, especially powerful ballistas hit much further and stronger than bows. At the same time, they were not very suitable for destroying walls - the arrows just bounced off the walls. A catapult could do much more damage to the besieged, throwing huge rocks and hitting not only the defenders of the fortress, but also destroying their fortifications.
