Moving disabled heavy armour across varied terrain was a persistent logistic problem in WWII. The 18 Ton Heavy Half-Track "FAMO" and its Sd.Ah.116 transporter answered that need by recovering and hauling tanks from the front. Equipped with the Maybach HL 108 12-cylinder engine delivering around 270hp, the vehicle had the power required for battlefield recovery tasks.
The Tamiya 35246 reproduces the FAMO and trailer with clear scale fidelity, offering modellers an engaging build project. At roughly 640mm long the assembled model makes an imposing display piece in a collection. The kit uses realistic rubber tyres and metal detail parts, and it includes eight figures to create a convincing loading scenario.
