1:35 Dragon 6596 Sd.Kfz.166 Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär Early Production with Zimmerit WWII - German Assault Gun Plastic Model kit

Build an impressive piece of German armoured warfare history with the 1:35 Dragon 6596 Sd.Kfz.166 Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär Early Production with Zimmerit. This heavy German assault gun combined the proven Panzer IV chassis with a large, box-like armoured superstructure and a powerful 150mm howitzer. Dragon recreates this early production version with a convincing Zimmerit anti-magnetic coating and extensively detailed gun, giving you a distinctive model for your WWII collection or diorama.

The Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär was developed following German experiences during the fighting at Stalingrad and was intended to provide direct fire support, particularly during urban combat. The first prototypes were produced by Alkett in early 1943, with series production continuing from May 1943 until March 1945. The supplied historical information states that 306 vehicles were produced, while a total of 298 Brummbärs across four production series is also given. The vehicle was powered by a 300hp Maybach HL120 TRM and armed with the 15cm StuH 43, followed later by the specially developed 15cm StuH 43/1 L/12. Two 7.92mm MG34 machine guns are also listed. The Brummbär had a maximum road speed of 40km/h and a road range of approximately 210km. Historically, the type saw action at locations including Kursk, Anzio and Falaise and during the suppression of the Warsaw Uprising.

Dragon 6596 offers plenty of rewarding modelling thanks to its detailed 150mm gun with rifling and finely reproduced breech. All hatches can be assembled open or closed.
