1:35 Wehrmacht Maultiers is a set of three plastic kits of German half-track trucks of the Maultier family in 1:35 scale from the Ukrainian maker ICM.
Responsibility details are not available.
The package holds three separate injection-molded kits of German half-track trucks: the V3000S/SS M with the Einheitsfahrerhaus cab, the V3000S/SS M with a box body and the KHD S3000/SS M. Each vehicle has its own decal sheet, so a whole column comes out of a single box. The set is from the Ukrainian maker ICM, which has long specialized in German rear-area equipment.
The Maultier, meaning mule, was the stopgap answer to the muddy roads of the Eastern Front. Ordinary trucks got stuck in deep mud and snow, so their rear axle was replaced by a tracked running gear derived from light tanks. Vehicles of several makes were converted, among them the Ford V3000S and trucks from the KHD works in Cologne, and the resulting vehicles carried the common military designation Sd.Kfz. 3. They impressed with neither speed nor fuel consumption, but they got supplies through to places a wheeled truck could not reach.
Assemble and paint the tracked running gear and the chassis before you close up the bed and the cab, because afterwards they are hard to reach. It pays to paint the cabs separately from the bodies. Rear-area vehicles tended to be far dustier and muddier than combat equipment, so washes and pigments are worth reaching for here; in the end it is the dust on the fenders and the mud on the tracks that makes the biggest impression. Tell the three vehicles in a single scene apart with a slightly different shade and a different degree of wear.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
