WWSM includes FREE Delivery to ALL UK destinations for these model kit products.Including all variations, over 2500 18ton half-tracks were produced by the end of the WWII.One of the major types was the tank recovery half-track, which was a mighty towing vehicle equipped with two rows of seats and a flatbed in back for the storage of equipment such as a draw-bar and spare wire rope.Tool storage compartments were found on each of the outer sides of the flatbed. In addition, the underside of a vehicle was equipped with a winch. Its powerplant was a Maybach HL 108 12-cylinder engine, which put out 270hp. Tank transporting was conducted by either direct towing with a draw bar, or by loading the tank atop a massive trailer.Officially known as "Sd.Ah.116", the Type 116 Trailer connected with the 18ton heavy half track, which allowed for the transportation of 22-23 ton class tanks such as the Pz.Kpfw.III, Pz.Kpfw.IV and other heavy artillery.The trailer of the Tank Transporter Sd.Ah.116 was suspended between two bogies, the rear of which was equipped with a separate steering mechanism. This model offers a great insight into the construction and operation of German's giant beast-of-burden.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 640mm, 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 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.WWSM Says: -Product does not include paints or adhesive, these are sold seperately.Packaging Dimensions: Length:48cm Height:29cm Width:10cm All measurements are approximates to the nearest 0.5cmSafety Information: Suitable for ages 14+.
