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 10.5cm 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 10.5cm 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.
