Corgi CC60002 SdKfz 7 – Krauss-Maffei Semi Track – France 1940
Limited Edition #5834 of 6500.
1/50th Scale. Measures 5.25" long x 2" wide.
The model featured
is a typical Sd. Kfz. 7 of the 12th Army, decorated in the traditional
overall dark grey of the German artillery units in the West. This was
used as a personnel carrier by the troops and was highly effective at
overcoming the terrain of the Ardennes that had been considered as too
big an obstacle for the spearhead of the German offensive.
Designed to meet a 1934 requirement for an eight ton armored half-track
vehicle, The Sd.Kfz.7 first entered service in 1938. Its primary use
was as a tractor for the 8.8 cm FlaK gun and 150 mm howitzer, but
anti-aircraft variants were also produced. It could carry gun crews of
up to 12 men and their gear, with room for ammunition storage as well.
Used throughout the war, the Sd.Kfz. 7 appeared in the 1940 Paris
victory parade, was featured in German propaganda films and became one
of the most iconic half-track vehicles of its time.
