History of the original: The Sd.Kfz. 9 "Famo" tractor was the heaviest half-track vehicle in the Wehrmacht. Its design was approved just before the outbreak of World War II, and about 2,500 units were produced between 1939 and 1945. The vehicle was used as a heavy artillery tractor (e.g., Flak 88, 150 mm howitzers), for recovering damaged Tiger tanks, and as a technical transport vehicle. Due to its versatility, the Sd.Kfz. 9 operated on all conflict fronts – including the Eastern Front, Western Front, and in North Africa.

It is perfect for use in dioramas and scenes from World War II, both as a tractor, recovery vehicle, and transport truck. Resin details allow for impressive weathering effects, and the compact 1/48 scale makes it easy to integrate with other land force models from this era.
