Historical Background

Developed in 1942 as an interim tank destroyer, the 24-ton Hornisse carried the powerful 8.8cm PaK 43/1 and made its combat debut at the Battle of Kursk. A total of 494 vehicles were produced, with service primarily on the Eastern Front and in Italy. This kit reproduces the vehicle’s distinctive features, bringing the look of this hard-hitting German AFV to 1/72 scale.

With its balanced Neo track system and included photo-etched details, the Dragon Sd.Kfz. 164 Hornisse HC-D7625 offers a compelling build and a highly authentic finish for enthusiasts of WWII armour and small-scale modelling.
