Clash Of Steel German Hornisse Tank-hunter Platoon (x4 Plastic)

1 Clash of Steel German Hornisse Tank-hunter Platoon box contains:

• 4x Hornisse Tanks
  

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.
