Sd.Kfz.9. Famo
Posted by FredHolm on Thursday, February 28, 2013 4:06 AM
Does anyone know of any upgrade components for the Tamiys 18 ton half-track in 1/35. All I have been able to find are metal tracks so far. I bought the kit that includes the tank recovery trailer. Since I paid so much for the base kit I want to do the best build possible. Any help would be appreciated as my 17yo son is going to help with the build (this will be his FIRST model).

Thanks in advance.

ABER has one or two photo etch sets if you want to go that route.  It's  a great kit and take your time.

BTW: "FAMO" is the name of the manufacturer and is really a postwar/modelers/historians' term rather than anything the soldiers used themselves.  They referred to it as the 18-ton tractor or in documents, sometimes as the SdKfz 9.

Just like we don't call Sherman M4A4s as  "Chrysler" tanks.
