The history of the Panzerhaubitze Hummel

The first designs for the Panzerhaubitze Hummel originated in 1942, when the Germans needed mobile artillery to support armored units. It was armed with the 15 cm howitzer sFH 18 (L/30), mounted on a special Geschützwagen III/IV chassis, combining elements of the Panzer PzKpfw III and IV with newly developed parts.

The vehicle had an open superstructure with rear doors for easy loading. The crew consisted of a driver, a radio operator, a commander, a gunner, and two loaders.

By the end of the war, 713 Hummel guns and 157 ammunition carriers were built. They were part of the tank artillery divisions, usually as one of three batteries, alongside two batteries with lighter Wespe guns. The squadron had a total of 16–18 guns and two ammunition carriers.

The construction set "Panzerhaubitze HUMMEL" is an excellent choice for anyone who values precise craftsmanship, military details, and the joy of building.

This model captures the character of one of the most significant artillery systems of the German army and fits perfectly into any historical collection.
