Product Description ■ [About the actual vehicle]
The Hummel self-propelled artillery is a self-propelled artillery that the German army built with a 15cm howitzer in the III / IV chassis in World War II.
The chassis employs a self-propelled chassis called the III / IV chassis, which has the same transmission as the III tank on the F type IV tank. The engine was mounted in the center of the car.
An open top battle chamber was created there and equipped with an sFH18 heavy howitzer. It was completed in 1943 and played an active part in each front, starting with the Kursk battle until the end of the war.
The 30cm 15cm heavy howitzer, sFH18 has a maximum range of 13000m.
Since we used shells with separate charge and ammunition, there were 6 crew members, one more than usual, and the same chassis because there were 18 shells mounted. An ammunition carrier was also built and beat together.
The car body is divided into the first- and second-generation models, and the feature is that the driver on the front of the car and the design of the compartment for the correspondent are different.
By the end of the war, more than 700 cars were produced and struggled on the fronts of each region.

[About Model]
The model is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel, a German self-propelled gun that was active in World War II.
This kit is a 2in1 kit that can be assembled by selecting either Hummel's early production type or late production type.
In order to reproduce the difference, the upper part of the car body and the sprocket wheel are set with both the early part and the late part.
The lower part of the car body is integrated with a slide mold. The details on the bottom surface are accurately reproduced, and the undercarriage is enhanced with realistic expressions such as wheels and starting wheels.
The belt-type DS track is easy to assemble in the crawler belt. The battle chamber built on top of it has a mechanical finish centered on the main gun 15cm howitzer.
Do not miss the recoil system, gun cradle mount, and the details of the occluder that were reproduced using a slide mold.
Aluminum parts are prepared for the gun barrel to further enhance the feeling. In addition, the battle chamber armor plate expresses its thickness with a sufficient scale. The thinness produces a sharp finish.
The battle chamber surrounded by the armor plate is set with a shell case, various racks, and a lot of equipment. I'm looking forward to the rich modeling unique to self-propelled guns with open top battle rooms.
Each etched part that enhances the details of each part is also included. Don't miss the box art using Ron Bolstad's illustrations.
