Hot on the heels – or tracks, as the case may be – of Dragon’s new 1/72scale Nashorn with Neo tracks, comes another kit in this same scale thatshares the same tracks. This time it’s the Hummel, a Germanself-propelled howitzer (SPH) created by installing a 15cm sFH 18 L/30howitzer on a Panzer IV chassis. The Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel was produced fromlate 1942 onwards because of an urgent need for artillery that couldkeep pace with Germany’s panzers. Its combat debut occurred during the titanic Battle of Kursk.

With the Nashorn so recently receiving Neo tracks, it is logical thatits close companion the Hummel should do so too. These tracks come withpre-assembled straight runs where applicable, and they can berealistically sagged and shaped by hand. Other parts come as individuallinks to allow them to perfectly conform to the shape of sprockets, etc.The engineering is top notch. The 15cm howitzer, which is fully seeninside the open-topped fighting compartment, is resplendent in richdetail, as is the rest of the interior. There are even photo-etchedparts available to take detail to the next level. A welcome sight, thisbumble bee comes right on the tail of a Neo track-shod rhinoceros!
