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.
