When tanks or heavy artillery pieces became immobilized, recovering them from difficult terrain was essential to maintaining fighting strength. The German 18-ton “FAMO” half-track and its companion Sd.Ah.116 tank transporter played a critical logistical role, towing damaged machines across environments ranging from the desert heat of North Africa to the rail-scarce expanses of the Eastern Front.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis 1\/35 scale assembly kit recreates the FAMO and the massive Type 116 trailer with impressive presence and engineering depth. The FAMO’s long, powerful frame—driven by a Maybach HL108 12-cylinder engine—is accurately reproduced, complete with tool compartments, winch system, and rear equipment storage. The Sd.Ah.116 trailer features both forward and rear wheel units connected by an extended platform, allowing transport of 22–23-ton class vehicles such as Panzer III, Panzer IV, and heavy guns.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nReal rubber tires, metal parts, chains, and a full set of eight crew figures add texture and life to the finished piece. Stretching over 640mm when complete, this is one of the largest and most rewarding kits in this series—a project well suited for modelers who enjoy patient, detailed work and the challenge of assembling complex machinery in miniature.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50346056614135,"sku":"MH_TAM35246_HH","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/3324\/8759\/files\/c0b89e2ea483f17f3a6ed3b4faa74f41.jpg?v=1765377525","url":"https:\/\/checkout.miniaturehobbies.com\/products\/german-famo-tank-transport","provider":"Miniature Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
