Product: 1:48 Ger. Truck Krupp Protze w (8) Fig.
One of the fan-favorites in 1/35 scale, the German Krupp Protze
6-wheeled truck finally joins the 1/48 scale MM Series. Every
characteristic of this truck, such as its low-profile bonnet, infantry carrier on rear and double wishbone suspension, has been
realistically reproduced. Set also includes driver and infantry
passenger figures to heighten realism and atmosphere. The 1/48 MM
Series offers not just tanks, but also a rich variety of auxiliary and support vehicles for endless diorama possibilities.
This vehicle was popularly known as the "Boxer" because it had an
air-cooled flat-four square engine. This in turn allowed a flat sloping
engine cover of quite unmistakable shape which also gave excellent
forward visibility and a low silhouette. The Krupp "Boxer" was quite
ubiquitous in application and the chassis carried body work for a
considerable number of different roles. Aside from its air-cooled
engine, the "Boxer" also had an independent suspension system, differing
from the conventional springing systems of other six-wheelers in German service.

Die-cast under panel adds weight and realism.
