ACE 72295 SdKfz.124 Wespe (1/72) – Plastic model kit

The ACE 72295 model kit depicting the German self-propelled howitzer SdKfz.124 Wespe in 1/72 scale is a great choice for enthusiasts of historical military vehicles from World War II. The Wespe, which means “wasp” in German, was a product of the Third Reich’s industry, primarily used by the Wehrmacht between 1943 and 1945. It was designed based on the chassis of the light tank Pz.Kpfw. II and armed with the effective 10.5 cm leFH 18/2 howitzer. Its main role was to provide fire support for armored and infantry units.

The 1/72 scale model faithfully recreates the original’s design, presenting all the most important details, such as the richly detailed chassis, armor features, and the characteristic silhouette of the open fighting compartment. Notably, the Wespe saw extensive use on both the Eastern and Western fronts, including during the Battle of Kursk, where it proved effective as mobile artillery supporting the Wehrmacht’s swift attacks.
