overall good Fujimi will make the best overall
the turret is spot on the hull is a spot petite
the nitto hull is a touch better but the tracks horrible
i got some easy model tracks for some of my hybrid kits the fujimi ones are the very late war slightly narrower ones
the airfix ones are spot on but are too stiff and need care full stretching
so the ones i make are all hybrids
Dragon 7301 1/72 Sd.kfz.165 Hummel Late Version

lovely doner gun exactly like the revell one i could not get hold of
ive replaced its gun with an old ESCI ONE as the gun was undersized and i could not get a revell Hummell however the superstructure was used for revell hornet making with adjustment a perfect Hummel out of it
23mm i will make a perfect pair of 25 mm scale Dragon hummels with the Esci guns in due course
i now have a late production Hummel in 23mm scale
it looks more like the real thing in some ways tham other offerings as the glazed nose was quite prominent this is lost in ovrrefinement ands its a hell of a lot easier to build you have to be a very experienced modeller to get the best out of the airfix one before it reaches the waste paper basket
