From the manufacturer description:

The PzH 2000 155mm self-propelled howitzer, the most advanced German self-propelled howitzer at present, is 11.7m long, 3.6m wide and 55t heavy. It's fitted with a Rheinmetall 155mm L52 gun with advanced sight and fire-control system.  60 rounds are stored vertically on board in a horseshoe arrangement. Its automatic shell-loading system has realized the automatic management of all ammunition. Additionally, the PzH 2000 is equipped with modular add-on armor which has dense 60mm tall rubber "long needles" on the surface. A total of 75 add-on armor plates can be packed into 5 boes and transported together with the vehicle to battlefields.  The crew can install the amor according to battlefield situations.  The Netherlands and Germany deployed their PzH 2000s with add-on armor in Afghanistan in 2006 and 2010, respectively.

This 1/35-scale German Panzerhaubitze 2000 Self-Propelled Howitzer w/Add-On Armor plastic model kit precisely reproduces the needle-shaped add-on armor.  Movable torsion bar suspension is perfectly replicated. Cement-free workable tracks are easy to assemble.  Clear lights and periscopes are available. Precision PE parts are included, and four paint schemes are provided.
