■Product Description
[The largest half-track of the German army, finally here]
As its name suggests, this is the largest half-track of the German army used in World War II, a model with immense size, volume, and high density that gives it a strong presence. It can be combined with the Panzer III, Panzer IV, Tiger I, and Panther tanks to broaden the range of dioramas. Add this 18-ton heavy half-track, which combines the power and delicate details unique to military vehicles, to your collection.

[German 18-ton heavy half-track FAMO]
The 18-ton heavy half-track FAMO was the largest half-track of the German army used during World War II. It was developed for tank recovery, towing heavy artillery such as 21cm howitzers, and 22/23-ton trailers, and was also used for transporting troops. Its power was demonstrated when used as a tank recovery vehicle. One half-track could tow a Panzer III or Panzer IV, while three or more could be linked together to tow a Tiger I heavy tank, making it an indispensable and important support vehicle for German tank units.

[Recreating the scene of three linked tanks towing a tank]
The greatest highlight of the 18-ton heavy half-track is the scene of three linked half-tracks towing a Tiger I heavy tank weighing approximately 60 tons. The sight of three equally massive half-tracks towing a gigantic tank is truly impressive, and even in 1/35 scale, the total length reaches 1.2 meters. Just like the real vehicle, the 18-ton half-tracks are connected to each other with wire ropes, and a drawbar is used to connect to the tank. You can also enjoy the contrast in size by placing smaller vehicles around it, expanding the possibilities for diorama creation.
