SdAh 116 trailer

The SdAh 116 was specifically designed as an efficient system for the recovery and transport of tanks from the battlefield to repair shops. For an easy and fast loading operation of the tank, the rear part (which was self-propelled), separated and allowed a quick loading of the tank on the platform. Once the tank had been loaded, the rear end re-engaged and raised the cargo bed.

SdKfz 9 FAMO

The Schwerer Zugkraftwagen 18 t or SdKfz 9, also known as "FAMO", was the heaviest half-track vehicle used by the Wehrmacht. It was originally designed as a heavy artillery tractor, but saw many more uses during WWII

Its design was started in 1936 by the Fahrzeug und Motoren-Werke GmbH company from designs of the Military Automobile Department (Waffenprüfämte 6) from 1933. After several prototypes, final development began mass production in 1939.

Powered by a Maybach HL 98 V12 gasoline engine that provided 200 hp.

It was used on all fronts of war in numerous types of uses.

PzKpfw IV Ausf-G

The PzKpfw IV, short for Panzerkampfwagen IV (Armored Fighting Vehicle Model IV) was the most widely used tank by the Germans in WWII (approx 8,800 units).

At first it was designed as an infantry support tank but it evolved as a tank for combat against armored vehicles. It was used in all theaters of operations from Russia to the North African desert.

The kit represents the G version (Ausf G) that was built between 1942 and 1943 and was equipped in some areas with 30 mm armor.
