When building a modern army after 1933, Germany placed great emphasis on three-axle 3-ton trucks. One of them was the Krupp L3H63, in production from 1931. The L3H163 version of 1936–1938 received a 110 hp six-cylinder petrol engine and pneumatic brakes. Around 2,000 L3H63 and L3H163 trucks were built in total, serving with all branches of the German armed forces until 1942.
Some chassis carried special bodies, among them the Kfz.72 van body. These vehicles were used as the transmitter and receiver stations of the powerful A/B mobile radio stations.
The ICM kit in 1/35 scale has 306 parts, and the finished model measures approximately 205 × 88 mm. The decals offer a vehicle from France in May 1940 and one from Ukraine in September 1941. The bulky box body sets the model apart from ordinary trucks and fits perfectly into a command post scene. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
