This was a self-propelled howitzer mounting the well-known 15cm s.IG 33 infantry gun that had a range of 4,700km. The first Bison II prototype was produced in July\/August of 1941, and the design featured a lengthened hull (with an extra road wheel each side) to accommodate the howitzer. It employed a Bussing-NAG engine, which proved problematic in moving the 16-ton vehicle around the battlefield. A crew of four operated the Bison II, but they were given little armor protection. The Bison II was eventually replaced by the better-designed Wespe. Dragon has produced a high-quality 1\/35 scale model of this interesting and rare self-propelled howitzer. As a Smart Kit, there is widespread use of slide molds in its production. The open-topped fighting compartment is particularly well detailed, with Dragon’s proprietary Razor Edge technology used to produce true-to-scale armor plates. The road wheels have also been updated. Its firepower is improved after Dragon’s highly praised s.IG 33 gun receives a new shield. With the addition of Magic Tracks, this kit of a vehicle that operated in North Africa’s desert terrain is certain to be a hot item.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50218540466426,"sku":"P353532792975528344","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/2864\/8698\/files\/d5abaec5692067d02cb0105af7e65444286132370b60eac7a3b8b757f25c57b4.jpg?v=1788401450","url":"https:\/\/peachlover.shop\/products\/bison-ii-s-ig-33-auf-pz-kpfw-ii-smart-kit-1-35-by-dragon-model-veh","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
