Tamiya 35246 FAMO Half-Track & Sd.Ah.116 Tank Transporter 1/35 Scale Model Kit

Description

Tamiya ventured into the modeling business in 1948, with a scale wooden ship model kit. Since then, Tamiya has been striving to offer merchandise that can truly be called ‘First in Quality Around the World.’ Now Tamiya is offering more than 300 different products, both in the fields of precision static models and high performance radio control vehicles. These products are not only sold in Japan but also exported in vast quantities to the United States, Europe, South East Asia, and to many other parts of the world. The standard of excellence achieved by Tamiya is regarded as among the very finest in the world of model hobbies. After the impressive debut of the FAMO kit, Tamiya began to receive many requests for variations. Among the several types of FAMO to appear during WWII, the most frequently requested was the Sd. Ah. 116 trailer-towing version. Stretching over 640 mm, Tamiya’s new beast-of-burden is 50mm longer than the Dragon Wagon and is the longest kit in the MM series. The massive trailer unit consists of both the front and the rear wheeled pieces on either ends of the long platform piece. Real rubber tires are included for heightened realism. This kit features ample metal and metal plated parts for various accessory pieces such as a chain for fixing the tank in tow to the platform. This kit brings back the eight figures of four poses included in the original ‘FAMO’ kit, plus four all new figures of three poses acting out a tank loading scene at the rear of the trailer. This finely detailed plastic model kit requires assembly and painting.
