1/35 KHD S3000/SS M Maultier, WWII German Semi-Tracked Truck
ICM 1/35 KHD S3000/SS M Maultier is a plastic kit of the German Second World War half-tracked truck. It has 219 parts. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The backbone of the Wehrmacht's vehicle fleet in the Second World War was formed by 3-ton cargo trucks. One of the most numerous was the KHD S3000, produced from 1940 at the Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz plant in Ulm (Magirus before 1938 and after 1945). It had a four-cylinder Deutz diesel engine and rear-wheel drive only.
KHD S3000 trucks served in every branch of the German armed forces until the end of the war – on the Soviet-German front, in North Africa, Italy and France. Off-road, however, vehicles without all-wheel drive showed poor cross-country ability, so some 1,740 KHD S3000s were built as Maultier half-tracks.
The ICM kit in 1/35 scale has 219 parts, and the finished model measures approximately 175 × 80 mm. The decals offer a vehicle from Ukraine in summer 1942 and one from Poland in autumn 1944. The pairing of a truck cab with a tracked running gear adds an interesting contrast to any collection of German support vehicles. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
