Hobby Boss 1/72 Military - German Munitionsschlepper Ammunition Carrier - 82908

The Hobby Boss 1/72 German Munitionsschlepper (82908) is an injection moulded plastic model kit of a German Second World War Munitionsschlepper, a tracked ammunition carrier built on a tank chassis. It adds an unusual support vehicle to 1/72 collections.

Munitionsschlepper means ammunition tractor. The Wehrmacht converted several tank chassis, including the Panzer I and Panzer IV, into carriers that delivered shells to the front, most famously supplying the giant Karl siege mortars. Such carriers usually had an open or lightly protected cargo area and sometimes a small crane, letting crews transfer heavy shells directly to the guns they supported.

Key Features

• 1/72 scale injection moulded plastic parts
• Wartime German support vehicle subject
• Compact build that suits dioramas
• Pairs well with Hobby Boss's 1/72 German heavy artillery kits

Paint, glue and modelling tools are required to complete the kit and are sold separately. A little mud and dust weathering will make the finished vehicle look at home in a wartime scene, and it pairs naturally with figures and supply crates.
