The model featured is a typical Sd. Kfz. 7 of the 12th Army, decorated in the traditional overall dark grey of the German artillery units in the West. This was used as a personnel carrier by the troops and was highly effective at overcoming the terrain of the Ardennes that had been considered as too big an obstacle for the spearhead of the German offensive.
The Sd.Kfz. 7 was a half-track military vehicle used by the German Luftwaffe and SS during the Second World War and first appeared in 1938. Used mainly as the tractor for the 8.8 cm FlaK gun and 150 mm howitzer the Sd.Kfz. 7's running gear consisted of two front wheels with hydro-pneumatic tires for steering and rear tracks with seven road wheels overlapping on each side of the vehicle. The vehicle could carry gun crews of up to 12 men in theatre-type seats and tow loads over 17,000 lbs in weight, and because of its heavy power it was often useful as a recovery vehicle. © Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
