The Trumpeter 1:72 scale model of the Sd.kfz.9/1 recreates an important World War II recovery vehicle. Developed by FAMO from 1936 and produced from 1939, the Sd.kfz.9 served as Germany's largest half-track. This kit represents the variant fitted with a 6-ton crane on the robust Sd.kfz.9 18t "FAMO" chassis and references the Maybach HL108TUKRM 250 horsepower engine in its historical context.
The kit presents a faithful miniature with a length of 141.3 mm, width of 38.1 mm, and height of 58 mm, conveying the original vehicle's scale presence. With 332 plastic parts, builders will find plenty of small components for an accurate assembly and a rewarding modelling experience.
This Sd.kfz.9/1 makes an eye-catching addition to a collection of WWII vehicles. The combination of full-length tracks and three tyres gives the model authentic silhouette, while the included German Army decal markings support historically correct finishes for display or diorama use.
