1/35 Wehrmacht Maultiers (Sd.Kfz.3b, V3000S/SSM with Shelter, KHD S3000/SS M)
ICM 1/35 Wehrmacht Maultiers is a set of three plastic kits of German half-track trucks: the Sd.Kfz.3b, the V3000S/SS M with box body and the KHD S3000/SS M. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
With the onset of autumn 1941, thousands of Wehrmacht vehicles bogged down on the muddy and snowy roads of the Eastern Front. The answer was the Maultier (mule) programme: on some three-ton trucks a tracked running gear replaced the rear axle. From 1942 the half-track KHD S3000/SS M by Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz (Sd.Kfz.3c) and Ford V3000S/SS M (Sd.Kfz.3b) were produced.
Maultiers carried troops and cargo off-road, towed guns, served as anti-aircraft vehicles with automatic cannon in the bed, and with an enclosed body as ambulances. From 1943 trucks received the simplified Einheitsfahrerhaus cab, and some Maultiers did too. ICM's 1/35 set contains three separate kits – the Ford Sd.Kfz.3b, the Ford V3000S/SS M with box body and the KHD S3000/SS M.
Three versions of the same concept side by side show the differences between manufacturers and bodies, and they fit well into an Eastern Front supply diorama. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
