covers the basics for this WWII theater of war.
Includes two resin and metal Hornisse tank-hunters and one unit card.
The Hornisse (Hornet) was another brand-new vehicle rushed to the front to take part in Operation Citadel. The vehicle was armed with the new and powerful 8.8cm PaK43 gun, the same found in the Ferdinand heavy tank-hunters.
Built on the Panzer IV hull, the Hornisse was easy to maintain, and devastated Soviet armor wherever they were stationed. It had 30mm of hull front armor, but only 10mm on its superstructure. It had a crew of four and an additional machinegun for local and anti-aircraft defense.
The first 100 were to be completed ready for the summer offensive on the Eastern Front. They served with the 655th Schwere Panzerjägerabteilung during the Kursk Offensive.
