Panzer Tracts No.22-6: schwerer Zugkraftwagen 12t (Sd.Kfz.8)

A new volume, after ten years, Panzer Tracts No. 22-6 is set to become the definitive reference for all types and variants of the German Sd.Kfz.8 halftrack. This book covers early production models as well as armed and armoured versions, including the wooden Holzenpritsche. It is based on meticulous archival research and precise measurements of surviving vehicles. Spanning 102 pages, it features 26 pages of highly accurate 1:35-scale CAD drawings detailing every variant. The photo selection, typically two per page, prioritises clarity and rarity, making this an essential addition for historians, modellers, and enthusiasts alike.
