AK Interactive AK35501 GERMAN RAILWAY SCHWERER PLATTFORMWAGEN TYPE SSYS 1/35

The AK Interactive AK35501 – German Railway Schwerer Plattformwagen Type SSys in 1/35 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit faithfully reproducing the famous four-axle SSys flatbed railway wagon used by Germany during World War II. This platform was a key element of Wehrmacht and Waffen SS logistics, enabling the transport of armored vehicles, tanks, and supplies weighing up to 50 tons. This specific wagon type was used to carry most light and medium armored vehicles, such as Panzer I-IV, Panther, Jagdpanther, StuG III and IV, Nashorn, Wespe, Hummel, or Sturmpanzer. Only the heaviest tanks, like the Tiger I and Tiger II, required larger, six-axle wagons.

Historical Facts: The original SSys wagon was widely used during World War II (1939-1945) across all theaters of war – from the Eastern Front to France, Italy, and even North Africa. The carrying capacity of these wagons contributed to the dynamic operations of German armored units and was crucial in the Reich's logistical operations.
