The Wespe - a classic in the Tamiya 1/35 Military Miniature Series (Item 35200) – is back, with updated parts and new marking options for vehicles that fought on the Italian front.
Originally designed as a stopgap but with a production run of 676, this Pz.Kpfw.II chassis-based howitzer exceeded German expectations. Intended mainly for infantry support, the Pz.Kpfw.II’s moving turret was replaced with a boxy stationary superstructure equipped with the Type 18/2 10.5cm L/28 howitzer.
While the crew of 5 were not blessed with overwhelming protection, their vehicle was a mobile threat to Allied forces nonetheless.
