COBI Historical Collection WWII Sd.Kfz. 124 Wespe Tank Executive Edition # 2598

Something that fans of historical sets from COBI have been waiting for for a
long time! The Wespe self-propelled gun joins the family of vehicles on the
Panzer II tank chassis. It was an excellent hybrid of a proven chassis and an
effective 10.5 cm leFH 18 howitzer. The model in the Executive Edition consists
of 855 elements and is designed in a modeling scale of 1:28. The
distinguishing feature of the set is the colorful camouflage contrasting with
the gray of the standard Panzer IIs, prepared in early war, gray colors. The
blocks contain high-quality prints that do not wear off during play. They
feature sand-green camouflage, visors, markings and design elements like fans
and vents. The model has a removable block engine and a white plate with the
name of the set. The set includes exceptionally interesting figures: an
artilleryman and two paratroopers. All figures have tropical camouflage with
strong sand accents, which indicates that the presented vehicle is fighting on
the Apennine Peninsula! The Sd. Kfz. 124 Wespe is a German self-propelled gun
from World War II, designed on the chassis of the Panzer II light tank. It was
armed with a 10.5 cm leFH 18/2 howitzer, which made it an effective artillery
support for German armored units. The Wespe was introduced into service in
1943 and was used on the Eastern and Western Fronts. Thanks to its mobility,
it could quickly change position, which protected it from enemy
counterattacks. They were produced in limited numbers but gained recognition
for their effectiveness and reliability as mobile artillery.
