Nr.234The SWS Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper or heavy army tractor.

TheSchwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (sWS; “Heavy Military Tractor”) was a German World War II half-track vehicle used in various roles between 1943 and 1945. The unarmored models were used as supply vehicles and as tractors to haul artillery. Armored versions mounted anti-aircraft guns or a 10 barrel rocket launcher (Nebelwerfer). Fewer than a thousand were built before the end of the war, but production continued after the war of an improved model in the Tatra plant in Czechoslovakia.

Nice and simple Italeri kit but the tracks are troublesome and tricky to mount due to the bad fit…
