It is a classic model from within the Tamiya catalogue, but this version includes updated parts and new marking options for vehicles that fought on the Italian front.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally designed as a stopgap, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRequires paint and assembly.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003e1\/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
