Hornisse Tank-hunter Platoon (Support Unit)
Contains: 4x Hornisse Tanks

Description:
Much like the Jagdpanther, the Hornisse (German for “Hornet”) was developed in response to the growing threat of Soviet heavy tanks. It featured the same 8.8cm gun that would be used on the Jagdpanther, but mounted it on a lighter Panzer III/IV chassis which used components from both German tanks.

The Hornisse could not support the weight of both the powerful gun and heavy armour so instead had an open-topped superstructure was built around the gun. This gave the crew some protection but was not enough to stop even the lightest tank guns.

* Note: Models supplied unpainted and require assembly. Glue and paint not included, contents may vary from those shown.
