It mainly towed heavy guns such as the 21 cm Mörser 18 howitzer and the 17 cm Kanone 18, and also served as a troop carrier and recovery vehicle. The DB 9 version appeared in 1938 with the Maybach HL 85 engine.
The Trumpeter kit in 1/35 scale contains over 700 parts according to the manufacturer, many of them newly tooled. The tracks are made of individual links, the wheels carry finely detailed rubber tyres and photo-etched parts are included. The open body with crew benches lends itself to scenes with figures or a towed gun.
The large tractor in 1/35 is a rewarding basis for a diorama of an artillery battery on the march or behind the front line. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
