1/6 Sd.Kfz.2 Kleine Kettenkrad

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

One of the workhorse vehicles of the Wehrmacht, the half-motorcycle half-track Kettenkraftrad (“Kettenkrad” for short) helped the German Army schlepp whatever needed schlepping, over any kind of terrain.
