1/35 KV-1 Russian Heavy Tank (1941 Early Production) Plastic Model Kit (TAM35372)

This TAMIYA model recreates the German WWII self-propelled gun Howitzer Hummel (Late Production). Its name translates to "œbumblebee". The Hummel was designed to fulfil demand for mobile artillery support for German tank units. Based upon the Geschützwagen III/IV (also used on the Nashorn), it sported an L/30 15cm howitzer and open top fighting compartment. Hummels were designed in 1942 and debuted on the Eastern Front in 1943; they were also seen in North-West Europe and Italy in the latter half of WWII.
