1:35 Sd.kfz.6/2 (BN9) 3.7cm Flak36 Half-Track 5t, Early/Late Production

The 8.8 cm Flak 36/37 is a German heavy anti-aircraft gun, a development of the Flak18 cannon. Compared to the original, the gun barrel has changed, and now it had a split core tube. The gun mount and the undercarriage were also changed. These changes allowed the gun to be maneuvered both forward and backward. In the Flak 37 version, the communication system with the battery control unit has been modernized. Like the Falk 18, the Flak 36/37 was characterized by great vertical and horizontal flight parameters as well as great armor penetration. From 1940 on a massive scale, it was used as an anti-tank weapon. Technical data: range: vertical - 10,600 m, horizontal - 14,860 m, caliber: 88 mm, combat weight: 5000 kg, rate of fire: 15-20 rounds / min., Projectile initial speed: 820 m / s (high-explosive shell), 930m / s (armor-piercing projectile).

Sd.Kfz.6 (German: Sonderkraftfahrzeug 6) was a German half-track transporter from the Second World War. The first prototypes were built in 1934, and serial production continued in 1939-1944, ending with the production of approx. 3,500 copies of this vehicle. The drive was provided by a single engine Maybach HL 54TUKRM with 100 HP. Car Sd.Kfz. 6 did not have fixed armament as standard.

Design work on the Sd.Kfz.6 began at Bussing-NAG in 1934, but due to continuous improvement of the design, it was extended until 1939, when the vehicle entered mass production. It was used primarily as an artillery tractor with a towing capacity of up to 5 tons and was very often used to transport 105 mm light leFH18 howitzers. In addition to the basic version (Sd.Kfz.6), three development versions of the vehicle were created. The first was the Sd.Kfz.6 / 1 model, which was an improved artillery tractor. Then the Sd.Kfz.6 / 2 version was created, which was an anti-aircraft version armed with a 37 mm FlaK36 cannon. The last version was the Sd.Kfz.6 / 3, a tank destroyer armed with a captured 76.2mm F-22 gun. Sd.Kfz cars. 6 were used on all fronts of World War II in 1939-1945.
