Tamiya 1/35 German 18-Ton FAMO heavy half-track scale replica

This Tamiya 1/35 rendition of the German 18-ton FAMO half-track recreates a key logistical vehicle from World War II with careful attention to scale detail. The FAMO was the largest German half-track type and played a central role in recovery and towing tasks, often operating alongside armoured units during campaigns on the Eastern Front and in North Africa.

Service history and battlefield role

Developed in the 1930s as part of mechanised support capabilities, the FAMO was tasked with recovering damaged medium tanks such as the Pz.Kpfw.III and Pz.Kpfw.IV. Heavier tanks, including the Tiger I, sometimes required several FAMO vehicles to move or tow them, underlining the platform's importance to wartime logistics.

Kit details and display options

The kit reflects Tamiya quality with realistic track runs, steerable front wheels and synthetic rubber tyres. Builders can choose configurations like open or closed storage compartments and removable engine side panels for viewing internal detail. The set also includes eight crew figures to populate dioramas and bring operational scenes to life.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 243 mm
  • Width: 75 mm
  • Material: Injection plastic with synthetic rubber components
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Engine detail: Exposed if built without side panels

Are figures included with the kit?

Yes. The kit contains eight figures in several poses to suit vehicle crew and ground scenes.

Can I show the engine in a display?

Yes. The engine is modelled so you can assemble the vehicle with side panels removed to reveal engine detail for display.

What adhesive and paints work best?

Standard plastic cement is recommended for parts, and enamel or acrylic model paints produce authentic finishes; use primer first for best results.

Is this kit suitable for diorama scenes?

Absolutely. With eight figures and optional open panels, the kit is well suited to recovery or workshop diorama settings.
