Germany fielded a whole range of halftracks during WWII, with different
sizes for different purposes. The Sd.Kfz.10, one of the lighter
halftrack types, was conceived as a prime mover for small towed guns
such as the 3.7cm PaK36 and 2cm FlaK30. Measuring 4.5m long and
weighing 4.9 tonnes, this Demag-designed vehicle could carry up to
eight passengers. Its top speed was 75km/h. Around 14,000 Sd.Kfz.10
halftracks were built from 1938-45, and the chassis was also used for
the Sd.Kfz.250 armored halftrack. Several different specialist vehicles
were based on this halftrack design, among them the Sd.Kfz.10/5. This
anti-aircraft platform carried a 2cm FlaK38 cannon on a purpose-built
platform on the rear of the hull. The weapon system was used by both
the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe.
As Dragon has never produced a kit of this halftrack family before, the
body and chassis are brand new. This allowed the design team to really
go to town and produce the ultimate detail in this kit, all the while
utilizing high-quality engineering for accurate parts. It’s fully
detailed, including internal components like the engine and gearbox. Of
course, it also makes use of Dragon’s world-famous 2cm FlaK38 kit.
Worthy of special mention is the use of slide molds on the front hood
to permit the louvers on the hood sides to be fully open. This stunning
level of detail, combined with upgraded road wheels and Magic Tracks
has resulted in a spectacular halftrack kit. Designed to hit low-flying
Allied aircraft, this vehicle will also be a hit with model-makers all
over the world!
