German - Famo with Sd.Anh.116 Trailer & Panzer III L
The Sd.Kfz. 9 “Famo” with Sd.Anh.116 trailer was one of the German Army’s principal heavy vehicle recovery combinations during World War II. The powerful 18-ton Famo half-track was used to tow the Sd.Anh.116 low-loading tank transporter, allowing damaged or immobilised armoured vehicles such as the Panzer III to be recovered and transported away from the battlefield for repair. The trailer’s design allowed heavy vehicles to be carried rather than simply towed, reducing further damage to their tracks and running gear during recovery. Famo recovery teams were particularly important during the fast-moving campaigns of the early and middle war, including North Africa and the Eastern Front, where mechanical breakdowns and difficult terrain could leave valuable tanks stranded far from maintenance facilities. A combination carrying a Panzer III Ausf. L is particularly representative of German armoured support and recovery operations during 1942–43.
This is a multi part model kit. We strongly recommend superglue to assemble.
