Tamiya 32593 German Heavy Tractor SS-100 1:48 Scale Model Kit

Tamiya 32593 German Heavy Tractor SS-100.

1:48 Scale Model Kit

As a part of its motorisation from the years leading up to WWII, the German military took on the SS-100 - a heavy tractor based upon a commercially-developed agricultural vehicle. It was a workhorse with a towing capacity of 20 tons, thanks to its highly reliable 6-cylinder, 100 hp, 8553cc water-cooled diesel engine. Deployed by the German Army, Luftwaffe and Navy, the SS-100 towed all manner of subjects: field guns, aircraft, fuel and water tanks, V2 rockets, and even disabled vehicles, its versatility and reliability standing it in good stead.

The bulky form of the SS-100 is depicted with aplomb. Slide moulded cab parts offer a superior fit. It features realistic depictions of chassis and interior and comes with an authentic driver figure and 4 marking options. Also included are tow bar parts to allow attachment to separately sold 1/48 scale Heinkel He219 model.

This model measures 114mm (length) by 53mm (width) and can be displayed to best effect in the Tamiya 73004 Display Case C.

The aircraft model shown in some of the images is not included in this kit.
