Vehicle History

Sd. Kfz. 166 Brummbär (German for “Brown Bear”) is a German heavy assault gun based on the PzKpfw IV chassis, widely used during World War II by the Wehrmacht. The vehicle was particularly employed in urban battles, for example during the suppression of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. The Brummbär entered service in 1943 and was actively used until the end of the war, mainly on both the Eastern and Western fronts.

Zimmerit: Realistic Finish

The Eduard 36365 set allows you to replicate zimmerit—the characteristic anti-magnetic coating applied to German armored vehicles to protect them from magnetic mines. Thanks to precision photo-etched plates, you will achieve an extremely realistic zimmerit texture even on hard-to-reach areas of the model.

Recommendations and Difficulty Level

We recommend the Eduard 36365 Sd. Kfz. 166 Brummbar zimmerit for experienced modelers and anyone wishing to take their model to the next level of realism. Due to the thinness and delicacy of the photo-etched parts, precision and appropriate tools are advised—difficulty level: 4/5. An ideal choice for enthusiasts of German armored vehicles of World War II.

Thanks to Eduard 36365, a precisely built Brummbär model will obtain a unique and historically accurate appearance on any diorama!
