K. “DESERT TRACKS”
Following the success of the most recent
“Rommel’s Command Car” set
(AK107) featuring the
sand / grey camouflaged ‘ADLER’ Sd. Kfz. 251 we have had a large number of requests to extend this particular camouflage scheme to some other Afrika Korps vehicles that were being shipped over to North Africa to supplement the Desert Fox’s meagre armoured force...

AK116 “Pz. Kpfw. 35R(F) Self-Propelled Gun”
Mounted on the tracked chassis of captured French
Renault tanks these small SPG’s make a fine addition for Rommel’s
Afrika Korps.
This particular model mounts a 4.7cm anti tank gun in an open armoured turret to become a tank destroyer... Some were used during “Operation Barbarossa” – the Invasion of Russia in 1941. A few even saw action in Normandy in June 1944.
AK117 “Panzerjager 1”
Another old favorite but this time with the distinctive 2-colour camo. This set also includes the relaxing Afrika Korps figure.
Based on a Panzer 1 tank chassis this self-propelled gun mounts a 4.7 cm Czech-made Skoda gun and was the first German tank destroyer of WW2.
