35377 1:35 Dt. Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkrad (Mit.Prod.)

Tamiya 35377 1/35 German Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkraftrad (Mid-production)

Tamiya announces the appearance of an all-new version of the Kettenkraftrad, which was previously released in the 1/35 Military Miniature Series as Item 35029 back in 1973. This product depicts a mid-production version, as opposed to the the early-production Item 35029 one. The model gives you more realistic scenery with three infantry figures and a cart also included. The Kettenkraftrad was originally developed for commando units but was found to be highly useful on the poor terrain in Russian territory. Of its numerous versions, the mid-production was the most prolifically manufactured, and was used to transport materials and even guns in the latter half of WWII.
