After securing an area, reinforcing divisions could easily send inoperative vehicles back to the homeland for repair via railway. However, in the seesaw battles with the British Army in North Africa and against the Russian Army on the Russian front, the quick replenishment of tank strength became an indispensable element of Wehrmacht battle strategy. The utilization of the 18 ton Heavy Half-Track \"Famo\" proved fundamental to this strategy. The proposal for the development of the Wehrmacht half-tracks was first made in 1932. Originally, three half-tracks, designated by their towing capability (5 ton, 8 ton and 12 ton) were designed, until 1936, when a light 3 ton vehicle and a heavy 18 ton vehicle, the largest one in the Wehrmacht, were also added. The 18 ton half track was mainly developed for the towing of 21cm and 24cm artillery howitzer and of course for tank recovery. It could also be used for the transport of over 30 troops.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/35 plastic assembly kit of the largest half-track in the German Army.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 243mm, Overall Width: 75mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed model captures the size and tank-towing power of the FAMO.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic treads and suspension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynthetic rubber front tires and steerable front wheels for maximum realism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear gate and storage doors can be assembled in the open or closed position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank towing drawbar included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be assembled with or without engine side panels, revealing fully detailed engine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine can be assembled outside of FAMO.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight figures (four variations) included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTamiya\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer item\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35239\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStore SKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAM35239\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMilitary Vehicle Model Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eScale\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e243mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer feature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/35 plastic assembly kit of the largest half-track in the German Army.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated collections\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-military-models\"\u003eTamiya Military Models \u0026amp; Armor\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-1-35-military-models\"\u003eTamiya 1\/35 Military Models\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/military-models\"\u003eMilitary Models\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-paints\"\u003eTamiya Paints \u0026amp; Modeling Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-models\"\u003eAll Tamiya Model Kits\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67986290245706,"sku":"TAM35239","price":89.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/tam35239","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
