Dragon 1/72 Sd Kfz. 164 Hornisse (Hornet)\n\nGerman Self Propelled Gun\n\n20mm\n\nBrand new, sealed and unbuilt. \n\nRef : DN7625\n\nThis is exactly the kind of model Dragon are famed for. A superb example of the Sd Kfz 164 Hornisse. \n\nDeveloped in 1942 and based on the Pz Kpfw IV chassis, the Hornisse mounted the 88mm Pak 43/1 L/71 gun. The Germans had been seeking to mount this gun on a mobile platform given the difficulties of troops moving the large towed Pak 43/1 easily. However, given the very heavy weight of the gun, the chassis was barely capable of supporting this so armour was light. This, as well as its high profile resulted in the vehicle offering little protection for its crew. Later renamed (by Hilter himself) the Nashorn (Rhinoceros).\n\nThis 1/72 Armor Neo Pro kit features:\n\n--\nNewly tooled Neo Tracks - pre moulded lengths of tracks result in convenient assembly and time savings\n\n--\nEasy to reproduce realistic sagging og
