More of war time photos and one 1/16 scale model with crews for size comparison:
These are basic version only. Other versions are even bigger.

We need to get our friends in Europe interested in this Famo 18 ton monster, I will make a few of my customers aware by pm and if all you guy's could do the same with your buddies around the World we might just get there!
I think I may order 2 vehicles , one for me and the other as an investment.(so do I count as 2 customers?)
As far as I am aware no other manufacturer has ever produced a 1/6th Famo and as Armortek have a ground breaking reputation I am confident they can see the potential, the handful of customers already showing an interest just the tip of a huge ice berg! Regards Phil.

Found a line drawing for size comparison of 3 very large German WW2 half tracks Sd Kfz 7, 8, and 9:
For whoever thought the 8 tonnes Sd Kfz 7 is large, prepare to meet the 18 tonnes Sd Kfz 9.
Have fun!
Have fun!

How about also offering the 88 flak gun direct mount also for Sdkfz9 halftrack as an custom add-on? That would be AWESOME! I want this!

Monique, I don't think you will have any problem selling 30 units of the Sdkfz9 halftrack.

I agree, there should be definitely no problem for 30 units, I would take one for sure

As I have only a Panzer3 used as armoured vehicle for artillery observers, also known as Pz.Beob.Wg.111. This was a former medium (start of the war) tank it only needed one Famo to recover it.
Thus please put me down for one Famo, jumping from a smallish kit to very big. Will it have the proportionate power as well to do the job of recovering a panzer from soft / boggy ground?
