Tamiya item 35358 - German Self-Propelled Howitzer Wespe 'Italian Front' - 1/35 scale Tanks Military Series assembly kit
This model faithfully recreates the German Self-Propelled Howitzer Wespe. It is a classic model from in Tamiya catalogue, but this variation includes updated elements and amazing marking choices for cars that fought on Italian front component.
Initially developed as a stopgap, with a production run of 676, this Pz.Kpfw.II chassis-based howitzer surpassed German objectives. Meant primarily for infantry support, the Pz.Kpfw.II’s going turret had been changed with a boxy fixed superstructure full of the kind 18/2 10.5cm L/28 howitzer. While the number of 5 are not endowed with overwhelming security, their car ended up being a mobile risk to Allied forces however.
