Germany fielded a wide range of halftracks during WWII. The Sd.Kfz.10, one of the lighter types, was conceived as a prime mover for small towed guns such as the 3.7cm PaK 36. Measuring 4.5m long and weighing 4.9 tonnes, this Demag-designed vehicle had a 1-tonpayload capacity. Around 14,000 Sd.Kfz.10 halftracks were built from 1938-45. Several specialist vehicles were based on this halftrack design, among them the Sd.Kfz.10/4. This type had a platform on the rear for carrying an antiaircraft 2cm FlaK 30 cannon. Thepurpose-built platform had fold-down sides and rear for the seven-man crew to serve and traverse the weapon 360º in combat. The Sd.Kfz.10/4 was used by both the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe, and of course it could be equally effective against ground targets.
Dragon has already produced a 1/35 scale 1-ton Sd.Kfz.10 halftrack in plastic and it was warmly received by modelers. Dragon has now expanded the family with the Sd.Kfz.10/4 by adding the company’s world-famous 2cm FlaK 30 kit. The rear platform is completely new tosuit this particular vehicle type. The same is also true of the front-wheel fenders. The kit’s fully detailed, and even hidden internal components like the engine and gearbox are provided. Upgraded road wheels and Magic Tracks from the original Sd.Kfz.10 haveresulted in a spectacular halftrack. Designed to hit low-flying Allied aircraft, this vehicle will also be a hit with modelers!
