In Nuts & Bolts previous volumes (No's 19, 22, 26 and 43) there is one important vehicle missing from that family tree - the Sd.Kfz. 166 15cm SIG33 or Panzer IV "Brummbär."
During the defensive battles on the eastern front, the need for a successor vehicle on a Kampfwagen IV chassis became noticeable, because the 2 small series of such vehicles on a Panzer III chassis were almost used up in the summer of 1943 and the following months. Therefore, in the second half of 1944, corresponding development orders were placed with German industry, which quickly ended in proposals for the Brummbär.
The Nuts & Bolts team wanted to correct that omission by producing a special 217-page tome on just that vehicle, an all-in-one book that shows not only history but development, in-service and unit details, walkarounds of the vehicle, plans, isometric drawings, profiles and models based on the mighty "Brummbär."
This volume features:
- 217 pages, softcover,
- Dual German & English text throughout
- 396 photos (167 historic photos, 208 colour photos of the surviving vehicles in public and private collections)
- 21 coloured camouflage schemes matched with original photos
- 25 scale drawings.
-21 colour photos of models of the The Brummbär
The publishers are sure that there will be something for every interested reader on the 217 pages.
