Tamiya 35377 - 1/35 Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkraftrad Mid Production Scale Model Kit for Collectors  [35377]

Tamiya 35377 1/35 Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkraftrad - Kit Overview

This Tamiya 1/35 German Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkraftrad Mid Production kit reproduces an unusual WWII support vehicle with careful attention to period detail. The Kettenkraftrad saw extensive use hauling equipment and towing small guns across varied terrain, and this mid-production rendition captures those operational traits for model builders and history-minded hobbyists.

Accuracy, Parts, and References

The kit updates Tamiya's classic tooling with refined parts compared to the 1973 release. It supplies three infantry figures and a detachable cart to expand diorama possibilities. Suspension and wheel layouts reflect close study of original drawings and photographs, helping creators achieve a convincing scale presentation.

Building Experience and Display Potential

Measuring approximately 140mm long and 30mm wide when built, the model uses assembled track sections with one-piece straight links and separate track pads. Engine and transmission components are modelled with clear detail, and the engine hatch can be built open or closed; photo-etched parts add fine surface definition. The kit's trailer plus figures, created using contemporary 3D scan techniques, lift the model's display appeal.
