This was the Wehrmacht's primary \u003cstrong\u003eself-propelled heavy artillery piece\u003c\/strong\u003e from 1943 onward — the gun that dropped 150mm high-explosive rounds onto Soviet assembly areas, Allied staging points, and fortified positions from ranges where the crews could barely hear the impact. When a Panzer division needed something flattened before the tanks went in, the Hummel was the call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOver \u003cstrong\u003e700 were built\u003c\/strong\u003e between 1943 and 1945. They served on the Eastern Front, in Italy, in Normandy, and through the retreat into Germany. Each Panzer division's artillery regiment typically fielded a battery of Hummels alongside the lighter Wespe 105mm SPGs. Together, they gave the Panzerwaffe organic artillery that could keep up with the tanks — shoot, displace, shoot again, without waiting for towed guns to be limbered and hauled forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe open-topped fighting compartment was a defining feature. Like the SU-76M on the Soviet side, the Hummel crew fought exposed to the elements and to air-burst shrapnel. Unlike the SU-76M, nobody called the Hummel nicknames you can't print — probably because the crews were too busy being grateful for a gun that could hit targets \u003cstrong\u003e13 kilometers away\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you're building:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e767 pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1:35 traditional model scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eThe unmistakable Hummel profile — open-topped superstructure, the massive 15 cm sFH 18 howitzer, the hybrid III\/IV chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanzergrau\u003c\/strong\u003e finish — early-war German armor grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eElevating main gun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWorking tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePad-printed markings — zero stickers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNo crew figures included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eA piece of German divisional artillery that belongs next to your Panzers, StuGs, and 88s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BrixKrieg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53779700285739,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/0155\/9851\/files\/corsair_4.png?v=1781754396","url":"https:\/\/brixkrieg.com\/products\/hummel-spg-1-35-scale","provider":"BrixKrieg","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
