Description

This model faithfully recreates the German Self-Propelled Howitzer Wespe. It is a classic model from within the Tamiya catalogue, but this version includes updated parts and new marking options for vehicles that fought on the Italian front.
Originally designed as a stopgap, with a production run of 676, this Pz. Kpfw. II chassis-based howitzer exceeded German expectations. Intended mainly for infantry support, the Pz. Kpfw. II's moving turret was replaced with a boxy stationary superstructure equipped with the Type 18/2 10.5cm L/28 howitzer. While the crew of 5 were not blessed with overwhelming protection, their vehicle was a mobile threat to Allied forces nonetheless.
Requires paint and assembly.
FEATURES:
1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. length: 143mm.
Includes new parts recreating stowed MG34 machine gun and ammo case, flare case, communications equipment, first aid box and more.
Features assembly-type tracks allowing depiction of sag.
Open-top fighting compartment allows inspection of interior details.
10.5cm howitzer offers traverse and elevation/depression.
Comes with 4 figures in action pose - gunner, 2 loaders and commander.
2 marking options recreate Wespe vehicles deployed in the Battle of Anzio, the Allies' aMPHibious assault that LED to the eventual taking of Rome.
Marking Option 1: 26th Panzer Division; Marking Option 2: 29th Panzer-Grenadier Division.
