This model recreates a German cargo truck which served a crucial support role in armored units, transporting the personnel, fuel, ammunition and supplies which kept the forces going. The 3ton, 4x2 vehicle was powered by a rear-mounted 6-cylinder gasoline engine that provided 85km/h on roads and an impressive 35km/h on unpaved surfaces. It is estimated that some 78,000 were manufactured until July 1944, a figure which bears testament to the truck's utility and reliability. About the Model - This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 127mm, width: 48mm. - The sturdy form is accurately captured right down to the ladder frame chassis underside, and cabin interior. - Features a choice of parts to recreate the headlights as either open or covered. - X parts from Item 32510 are included to recreate barrels, jerry cans and more, adding detail to the model. - Includes a realistic driver figure, plus 2 marking options which recreate units from the Eastern Front and the invasion of Poland. - How about combining with 1/48 German truck kits Item 32534 and 32580, or even the German motorcycle recreated in Item 32578?
