Schürzen, thin steel protective plates, were widely introduced to German armored vehicles from 1943 in response to the emergence of anti-tank grenades such as RPGs and similar anti-armor weapons. The Brummbär, known for its powerful 150 mm assault gun, was mainly used in urban combat, including in the battle of Stalingrad and during heavy fighting in Normandy as well as on the eastern front. The side skirts effectively increased resistance to attacks by hand-held anti-tank weapons.

The E.T. Model E35-265 set is the perfect choice for modelers wishing to reproduce the late-war appearance of the Brummbär with precise technical details. Photo-etched details allow the level of realism impossible to achieve with plastic parts alone. This product is recommended for experienced modelers who value authenticity and want to enrich their collection with precise assembly details.

Assembly difficulty level: 4/5. The set requires skills in working with photo-etched components.

We recommend this product to all military modeling enthusiasts and collectors of German WWII armored vehicles who expect the highest quality detail and historical accuracy.
