Hummel Discovery

Post by Mackem »

Hi All,

Have any of you ( Like me ) built Bandai's 1:15 Hummel and thought the rear fenders they provide were off a sprue also used in their Pz IV? If so, think again. I've just taken delivery of a book on the battle of kursk which has 2 pictures that clearly show that the hummel had rear fenders!

You live and learn.

I don't think they would have lasted that long in the field anyway.
