About product

The Famo Sd.Kfz. 9 in 1:35 scale: a refinement in metal

The delivery contains detail parts for a model of the heaviest German half-track tractor. They are used to replace the coarser plastic shapes where the thickness of the material shows at first glance. You have to have your own kit of the tractor.

A recovery machine for heavyweights

The Sd.Kfz. 9 was built by the Famo works in Breslau and, with a towing capacity for eighteen tons, it was the top of the German line of artillery tractors. A Maybach twelve-cylinder gasoline engine powered it and at the rear it carried a large platform with a winch. It was used for towing heavy guns, but above all for recovering and moving damaged tanks. For the heaviest machines a single tractor was not enough and crews routinely coupled them in twos and threes. A version with a fixed crane was also built on the chassis, which made it possible to change an engine in the field. Anyone building a scene of a front-line repair shop can practically not do without this vehicle.

What to keep in mind during the build

The open load area and the winch stay clearly visible once the build is finished, so put the metal elements on them first. Bend long thin parts in stages, otherwise they will ripple. Greasy patches and traces of oil around the winch will give the vehicle a genuinely working look.

Recommended for

  • anyone interested in German recovery vehicles
  • builders of repair-shop and rear-area scenes
  • modelers of large half-tracks
  • experienced hands who have no trouble with metal

The accessories are sold without the model, without paints and without glues.

FAQ

The figure denotes the towing class of the vehicle, that is the weight of the load the design allowed for. It is not the weight of the tractor itself.

With the heaviest tanks a single tractor was not enough. Crews therefore coupled two or even three machines at once.

It calls for tweezers, a sharp tool and patience. Anyone who has built one similar set will manage it without trouble.
