The Sd.Kfz.7 was a German 8-ton prime mover-class half-track that saw widespread use during World War II. Weighing 11.53 tons, it was originally intended to tow artillery such as the 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun and the 15 cm sFH 18 howitzer. However, it was also developed into a successful self-propelled platform for anti-aircraft weapons such as 2 cm or 3.7 cm cannons for Luftwaffe anti-aircraft units. The vehicle with the latter 3.7 cm gun was known as the Sd.Kfz.7/2 and a total of 123 vehicles were produced up to February 1945. Dragon already has a 1/35 scale plastic kit of the Sd.Kfz. 7/2 with 3.7 cm Flak 37 gun, this special half-track vehicle with a lightly armored cab (item no. 6542). This armored half-track version of the Sd.Kfz.7/2 appeared from the end of 1943.
• Now Dragon introduces a Sd.Kfz.7/2 with the standard unarmored cab. The vehicle has the correct rear firing platform for a 3.7 cm Flak 36 gun. Just like the real vehicle, the rear sides fold down to create a larger combat platform to display a combat configuration, or remain folded for travel. The grilles for these side panels and the tailgate are made to scale using photo-etched parts. Other parts, such as the one-piece hollow-muzzle gun barrel, use slide molds to produce precisely formed shapes. The intricate tracks are Magic Tracks for ultimate ease of use, while the DS-machined front tires feature accurate tread patterns.
This new 1/35 scale kit gives model builders an additional option when planning their next diorama. It would indeed be an interesting task to bring the Dragon Sd.Kfz.7 clan together to spot the differences between these superb halftracks.
