Model Summary for Tamiya 1/35 German Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel Late Production

The Tamiya 1/35 Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel kit models the German self-propelled artillery piece used to support armoured units in WWII. Armed with a 15cm L/30 howitzer housed in an open fighting compartment, the Hummel entered service from 1943 and saw deployment on the Eastern Front as well as in Western Europe and Italy.

Historical Notes and Model Detail

Known as the "bumblebee", the Hummel was built on the Geschutzwagen III/IV chassis that also formed the basis for types like the Nashorn. This late production kit offers updated moulded parts for the upper hull and fighting area, and uses one-piece straight track sections which help recreate authentic track sag for accurate displays.

Building Advice and Display Considerations

The kit delivers fine engraved detail and a satisfying build for modelmakers who value accuracy. When finished, the model is well suited to diorama settings or stand-alone display, illustrating period engineering and crewed artillery layout.
