Tamiya German Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkraftrad

The Tamiya German Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkraftrad is a highly detailed 1/35 scale assembly model kit recreating the famous WWII German half-track motorcycle vehicle. This updated release features a mid-production version of the Kettenkraftrad with improved details, realistic accessories, and additional parts for creating authentic battlefield scenes.

The Tamiya German Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkraftrad represents a vehicle originally developed for German commando units but later became widely used due to its excellent mobility across difficult terrain, especially on the Eastern Front. During the latter half of World War II, the mid-production version was manufactured in large numbers and used for transporting equipment, supplies, and even light artillery.

This 1/35 scale plastic model measures 140mm in length and 30mm in width. The kit features a realistic suspension system, accurately reproduced wheel positions, and detailed construction based on research of the original vehicle. Assembly-type tracks include one-piece straight sections with separate track pads to create a more realistic appearance.

The model includes an engine hatch that can be displayed open or closed, along with photo-etched grille parts and bending jigs for easier assembly. A trailer with a detailed canvas cover is included, along with three highly detailed infantry figures created using modern 3D scanning technology.

Additional features include instrument panel decals and two suggested paint schemes: the classic dark yellow finish and a three-color camouflage pattern. The Tamiya German Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkraftrad is an excellent choice for WWII military model collectors, diorama builders, and enthusiasts looking for a historically accurate vehicle kit with impressive detail.
