Greetings,
I know GHQ does not sell the SdKfz 8 12 ton half-track in individual packs but is it any other packs like towed artillery or AT guns?

Re: SdKfz 8
Isn't that the prime mover for every gun that ghq has for Germany?

Re: SdKfz 8
The SdKfz 7/10/11 are used for the AT guns. The Flak 36 is towed by a SdKfz 7 as well plus some of the other AT guns are towed by an SdKfz 11. The towed artillery does not list what kind half-tracks are used but they look like SdKfz 7 but could be an 8, Externally both look the same to my eyes considering the 1/285 scale.

Re: SdKfz 8
I don't remember if they orginally listed them (or if I guessed) but in my spreadsheet I have packs G134 and G135 (the 15cm and 10.5cm respectively) as having SdKfz 7 tractors.Tanker Mike wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 2:34 amThe towed artillery does not list what kind half-tracks are used
They do look similar but the SdKfz 8 is rather larger. A quick look on Wikipedia give the repective lengths as 6.85m and 7.35m long which makes the SdKfz 8 50cm longer than the SdKfz 7. Which is about 1.75mm in 1/285 scale (and about 0.5mm wider and higher)but they look like SdKfz 7 but could be an 8
There is that of courseExternally both look the same to my eyes considering the 1/285 scale.
