Tamiya 35367 - Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel 1/35 Late Production Modellers Kit  [35367]

Scale Model Summary for Tamiya 1/35 Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel Late Version

The Tamiya 1/35 Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel reproduces the WWII self-propelled howitzer used to provide artillery support for armoured formations. Armed with a 15cm L/30 howitzer in an open-top fighting compartment, the Hummel first operated on the Eastern Front from 1943 and later served in western theatres including Italy.

Origins and Scale Appeal

Nicknamed "bumblebee", the Hummel rode on the Geschutzwagen III/IV chassis shared with vehicles like the Nashorn. This late production kit from Tamiya features refreshed mouldings for the upper hull and fighting area, and the track design uses straight one-piece sections to help recreate authentic track droop.

Construction and Display Notes

Modellers will value the crisp details and practical assembly flow. Once finished, the model makes an effective display subject for dioramas or a dedicated shelf piece that shows off WWII artillery engineering.
