Tamiya 1/35 German 1ton Half-Track Sd.Kfz.10 Scaled Plastic Model Kit

This is a collaborative model kit brought to you by Tamiya and Italeri. This release in the exciting Tamiya-Italeri collaboration series is a model of the Sd.Kfz. 10, featuring new and re-designed parts and accompanied by Tamiya figures, accessories, and decals. The 1-ton Sd.Kfz. 10 was one of the lightest-weight half-track vehicles in use during WWII, and saw extensive use by German forces in a variety of situations. 15,000-plus Sd.Kfz. 10s were manufactured and dispatched to the Eastern Front, North Africa, and a range of locations.

The Sd.Kfz.10 belonged to the lightest category of trucks operated by the German forces during WWII, its compact body powered by a 100hp Maybach HL42 engine and gearbox allowing seven forward and three reverse speeds. The result was a vehicle which was very much at home on rough terrain, had a top speed of 65km/h and an operational range of up to 350km (on-road). There was sufficient space in the vehicle for 2 crew and 6 passengers. Originally developed to tow lighter weaponry such as 2cm anti-aircraft guns, 7.5cm light infantry guns and 5cm anti-tank guns, by the end of the war it was also hauling heavier units such as 7.5cm anti-tank guns and 30cm rocket launchers. For the 15,000-plus Sd.Kfz.10s manufactured between 1939 and 1944, a number of duties were assigned, in locations including the Eastern and North African fronts.

A wide variety of Tamiya accessories and dolls will effectively create a mechanical appearance.

A new rifle rack in the room and the back of the folded hood have been added. Soldier dolls enhance the sense of presence.

Tools are also new parts along with the mounting stay. A thin transparent plate is prepared for the windshield.
