The historical value of the model lies in the fact that the Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkrad was an innovative half-track vehicle used by German forces to transport equipment and soldiers on the battlefields of Africa and Europe. After the capture of numerous such vehicles towards the end of the war, the US Army put them to use for its own testing and logistical operations – and it is this variant, in American camo, that you can recreate from this set.
