Historical information on the Sd.Kfz. 166 Brummbär

The Sd.Kfz. 166 Brummbär was a heavy assault gun of the Wehrmacht produced in 1943–1945. This German armoured vehicle, equipped with a powerful 15 cm StuH 43 howitzer, was used primarily in urban fighting, such as the Battle of Stalingrad and the assault on Warsaw, including during the Warsaw Uprising. It provided fire support for infantry, neutralizing strongly fortified enemy positions. The Brummbär served exclusively in the German army during World War II.

Contents of the Eduard BIG3589 set

• Photo-etched parts: The set includes precision photo-etched metal sheets, allowing you to reproduce the finest armour details as well as external and internal vehicle details.
• Schürzen: Elegant and realistic side skirts (additional armour), typical of later Brummbär versions, made from thin metal, providing a more accurate representation than standard plastic parts.
• Zimmerit: Sheets for recreating the texture of the anti-magnetic paste applied to German vehicles in 1943–1944 to protect against magnetic mines. This version is dedicated to the Tamiya model.
• Interior extras and small equipment details: Enhance the cockpit, armament, and mechanical detailing.

All parts are made from the highest quality metal (photo-etch), produced using Eduard’s latest manufacturing technology. The set does not include plastic parts or 3D-printed components – this is a classic, professional upgrade set for Tamiya’s plastic assembly model kit.
