The halftrack is sold as a separate kit(biggish item), both the halftrack and the 88mm gun get re-issued at times.

I can't remember if the kit included the Motorbike too(don't think so), I got mine with a few extras when I build it (Kuebelwagen, Halftrack and a 1/48 storch to suspend over the Dio)

I did a 1/35 scale version of the old Hasegawa 1/72 Diorama of said piece.

Either way it is a fairly nice kit considering it's age.
[edit]
Just checked with Hobby Link Japan the kit INCLUDES 1 laison rider with
Zuendapp KS 750. Sells on HLJ for $20.

Here is a link to the halftrack:

Tamiya German 88mm Gun
Posted by MartianGundamModeler on Tuesday, January 6, 2004 12:49 AM
My local Hobby Lobby has German 88mm gun [I do not recall the official designation] on clearance [approx. $16] and on the front of the box it displays the cannon, troops, and trailer [there may also be a motor bike but I'm not sure]. However on the side of the box there is also a small unarmoured half-track displayed with a driver and seated troops with what looks like a canvas top displayed. Is this half-track also included in the kit with the .88mm gun? Since most of the script is in Japanese I can't tell whether it is in the box or whether the half-track is just another separate kit which is compatable with the 88mm gun pictured. I'm not big on artillery but if it includes a half track and troops [and may be a the motor cycle] I'm definately going to pick this one up for the cheap!
