Introducing the Wespe scale kit

The Tamiya 89619 Wespe kit reproduces the German self-propelled howitzer at 1/35 scale, showing the conversion of the Panzer II chassis to mount the Type 18/2, 10.5cm L/28 light howitzer. The model emphasizes the open fighting compartment and characteristic battlefield modifications of the period.

Collectors and hobbyists will find the kit emphasises external fidelity and reference-based detail. Built as a mobile artillery stopgap between February 1943 and September 1944, a total of 676 Wespe units were manufactured.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly and painting

What does the kit focus on reproducing?

The model concentrates on the vehicle exterior, capturing the gun mount, running gear and open-top layout rather than detailed internal fittings.

Is this kit suitable for display on a shelf or a diorama?

Its scale and visible exterior detail make the kit well suited to both static display and incorporation into dioramas depicting Eastern Front scenes.

Can I upgrade this kit with aftermarket parts?

Yes, modellers often add aftermarket metal parts, resin upgrades or photo-etch to enhance specific fittings and improve realism.
