The Tamiya 35200 model kit brings to life the German Wespe self-propelled howitzer from World War II, a crucial artillery piece developed in response to the challenges faced on the Eastern Front. This model captures the intricate details of the original vehicle, including its unique design adaptations like the mid-hull engine placement and box-shaped steel structure replacing the turret. Designed for static display, this kit provides an authentic building experience for military history enthusiasts and model builders.
The Wespe, or "Wasp," was introduced in February 1943 as a stopgap measure but proved effective enough to remain in production until September 1944. This Tamiya model replicates the 10.5cm howitzer mounted on a Panzer II chassis, complete with elevation and traverse capabilities. With over 190 parts, including detailed suspension and road wheels, this kit offers a comprehensive modeling challenge. The inclusion of two crew figures in winter dress adds to the historical authenticity.
