Tanks \u003cbr\u003esuch as Pz.Kpfw.III and Pz.Kpfw.IV could be towed by a single 18 ton \u003cbr\u003eheavy half-track, but heavy tanks such as the Tiger I or Panther \u003cbr\u003erequired three or more towing vehicles. In that case, about 5 meters of \u003cbr\u003ewire rope was used to link each of the half-tracks together. Except for \u003cbr\u003eemergency situations, a draw-bar was used for the tank\/half-track \u003cbr\u003elinkage instead of wire rope. After the linkage was complete, a \u003cbr\u003ecommander and signalman boarded the lead half-track, directing the other\u003cbr\u003ehalf-tracks by a series of hand signals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(The 1\/35 scale scene shown measures about 120cm in length.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the \"Famo\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the wake of Blitzkrieg advances made by the Wehrmacht at the outbreak\u003cbr\u003eof WWII, the recovery of damaged or broken tanks from the battlefield \u003cbr\u003eproved relatively simple. After securing an area, reinforcing divisions \u003cbr\u003ecould easily send inoperative vehicles back to the homeland for repair \u003cbr\u003evia railway. However, in the seesaw battles with the British Army in \u003cbr\u003eNorth Africa and against the Russian Army on the Russian front, the \u003cbr\u003equick replenishment of tank strength became an indispensable element of \u003cbr\u003eWehrmacht battle strategy. The utilization of the 18 ton Heavy \u003cbr\u003eHalf-Track \"Famo\" proved fundamental to this strategy. The proposal for \u003cbr\u003ethe development of the Wehrmacht half-tracks was first made in 1932. \u003cbr\u003eOriginally, three half-tracks, designated by their towing capability (5 \u003cbr\u003eton, 8 ton and 12 ton) were designed, until 1936, when a light 3 ton \u003cbr\u003evehicle and a heavy 18 ton vehicle, the largest one in the Wehrmacht, \u003cbr\u003ewere also added. The 18 ton half track was mainly developed for the \u003cbr\u003etowing of 21cm and 24cm artillery howitzer and of course for tank \u003cbr\u003erecovery. It could also be used for the transport of over 30 troops.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e★1\/35 plastic assembly kit of the largest half-track in the German Army.\u003cbr\u003e★Overall Length: 243mm, Overall Width: 75mm. ★Highly detailed model \u003cbr\u003ecaptures the size and tank-towing power of the FAMO. ★Realistic treads \u003cbr\u003eand suspension. ★Synthetic rubber front tires and steerable front wheels\u003cbr\u003efor maximum realism. ★Rear gate and storage doors can be assembled in \u003cbr\u003ethe open or closed position. ★Tank towing drawbar included. ★Can be \u003cbr\u003eassembled with or without engine side panels, revealing fully detailed \u003cbr\u003eengine. ★Engine can be assembled outside of FAMO. ★Eight figures (four \u003cbr\u003evariations) included.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35239\/35239_4c1.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 1;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35239\/35239_4c3.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 1;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35239\/35239_4c4.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 1;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35239\/35239_4c5.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 1;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35239\/35239_4c6.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 1;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35239\/35239_4c7.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 1;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35239\/35239_4c8.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 1;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35239\/35239_4c9.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 1;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35239\/35239_4c10.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 1;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35239\/35239_4c11.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 1;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35239\/35239_4c12.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 1;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57793472135552,"sku":"35239","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/1601\/9328\/files\/Tam35239.jpg?v=1775202906","url":"https:\/\/pienoismallimarketti.fi\/products\/schwerer-zugkraftwagen-18t-sd-kfz-9-famo","provider":"Pienoismallimarketti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
