This is Dragons Kit NO.6150
In my opinion, it`s not a beginners kit.
HUMMEL:
First 8 Hummels entered service in March of 1943 followed by 46 in April. Hummels had their debut during operation "Zitadelle (Citadel)" in the Summer of 1943, when some 100 were in service. Hummels were issued to Heavy Self-Propelled Artillery Battery of Panzerartillerie Abteilung of both Wehrmacht and Waffen SS panzer divisions. Each Heavy Self-Propelled Artillery Battery had six Hummels and one Munitionstrager Hummel. Hummels remained in service with Panzerartillerie units until the end of the war and proved to be a very useful "interim solution" weapon, but there were never enough of them to be supplied to frontline units.
Small number of captured Hummels was used by the Red Army during the fighting in Hungary in 1945. It is unconfirmed but probably few Hummels found their way to Syria after the war.
Today, Hummels can been seen in the Panzermuseum Munster (early model) and Auto und Technik Museum (late model) in Germany, Hummel in Musee des Blindes in Saumur, France (late model), Tank Museum in Bovington, England and in Aberdeen in USA.
