The Sd.Kfz.10, one of the lighter types, was conceived as a prime mover for small, towed anti-tank or antiaircraft guns. Measuring 4.5m long and weighing 4.9 tonnes, this Demag-designed vehicle had a payload capacity of 1 ton or eight troops. Power came from a Maybach 6-cylinder engine coupled to a transmission with seven forward and three reverse gears. Noteworthy is the fact that this halftrack type was the only one to employ a hull rather than a frame. Demag delivered the first vehicles in 1938, but eventually seven factories were involved in producing approximately 14,000 examples. One of the weapons it regularly towed was the 5cm PaK38 anti-tank gun, which was first used by German forces on the Eastern Front in 1941 to combat the formidable threat of the T-34 and KV-1. The gun remained in service for the rest of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e      This 1\/35 scale Dragon kit does not feature any newly tooled parts. Instead, what sets it apart is the excellent and practical combination that mates a delightful Sd.Kfz.10 Ausf.A halftrack with Dragon’s legendary 5cm PaK38 anti-tank gun. Essentially, it’s two complete kits in one box! The halftrack, as with earlier releases, features a complete interior, as well as internal components like the engine and gearbox. Another attractive point is that the PaK38 gun comes with an extra third wheel, which allows the cannon to be depicted in a scene where the gun crew is manhandling the gun into position. This is a spectacular little halftrack towing some serious firepower, and it’s certainly a versatile and convenient addition to Dragon’s Sd.Kfz.10 family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\nKit Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic-looking folded soft-top rood w\/photo-etched detail\u003cbr\u003e\nCloth pattern presented in detail\u003cbr\u003e\nIncludes clear lenses for headlamps\u003cbr\u003e\nNewly tooled photo-etched racks w\/toolboxes\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthentic Sd.Kfz.10 Ausf.A w\/5cm Pak 38 Produced\u003cbr\u003e\nMaximum detail achieved from photo-etches components\u003cbr\u003e\nExhaust shield and OVM w\/excellent detail\u003cbr\u003e\nToolboxes included\u003cbr\u003e\nIntricate engine housing\u003cbr\u003e\nAccurately detailed radiator frill and hood\u003cbr\u003e\nIntricately detail internal mechanical components engine, gearbox, fuel tank, compressed-air tank, suspension and exhaust\u003cbr\u003e\nDriver's compartment w\/correct detail\u003cbr\u003e\nMuzzle brake with fine detail\u003cbr\u003e\nGun shield is true-to-scale\u003cbr\u003e\nTransparent windshield can be folded up\/down\u003cbr\u003e\nFinely dimensioned wing mirror and spotlight\u003cbr\u003e\nDelicate on-vehicle tools reproduced\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthentic driver's cab w\/photo-etched details\u003cbr\u003e\n5 cm Pak 38 can be towed by Sd.Kfz.10 Ausf.A\u003cbr\u003e\nFully detailed steering components\u003cbr\u003e\nBreech replicates that on original Pak 38\u003cbr\u003e\nSuspension system as per the real vehicle\u003cbr\u003e\nRealistic engine hood formed from multiple parts w\/open louver detail\u003cbr\u003e\nOne-piece slide-molded lower hull\u003cbr\u003e\nIntricate rear compartment represented by multiple parts\u003cbr\u003e\nSlide-molded suspension arms and springs w\/delicate detail\u003cbr\u003e\n2 kinds of battery boxes available as options\u003cbr\u003e\nSeats in troop compartment reproduced\u003cbr\u003e\nDelicate gearbox included\u003cbr\u003e\nInjection-molded fenders made to thinnest possible dimensions\u003cbr\u003e\nDelicate fuel tank included\u003cbr\u003e\nAmmo boxes can be assembled open\/closed\u003cbr\u003e\nRoad wheels composed of multiple parts\u003cbr\u003e\nDrive sprocket w\/multi-part assembly\u003cbr\u003e\nTo achieve the highest levels of detail and accuracy\u003cbr\u003e\nRear chassis w\/realistic towing pintle exactly like original\u003cbr\u003e\nEngine represented by multiple parts\u003cbr\u003e\nMagic Tracks for convenient assembly\u003cbr\u003e\nBox Size: 9.6\" x 15\" x 2.4\"\u003cbr\u003e\nSERIES:  1\/35 WWII Military\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dragon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46654067605760,"sku":"DML6732","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/dml6732-135-dragon-sdkfz.10-ausfa-w5cm-pak-38-plastic-model-kit-squadron-model-models__84647.1735831749.jpg?v=1746950547","url":"https:\/\/fusionscalehobbies.com\/products\/dragon-1-35-dragon-sd-kfz-10-ausf-a-w-5cm-pak-38-plastic-model-kit","provider":"Fusion Scale Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
