About Krupp Protze 1ton (6X4) Towing Truck w/3.7cm Pak
Popularly known as the "Boxer" because of its air-cooled flat-four square 4-cylinder engine, the L2 H43 was developed by the Krupp company and mass produced from 1933. This truck was capable of both personnel and light-artillery transport and featured unique 6x4 independent suspension with 4-wheel drive and was capable of speeds up to 70km/h. In 1936, this truck had its horse-power improved from 55hp to 60hp with the development of the L2H431 version. This latter version underwent various improvements, particularly those allowing it to tow a 3.7mm PAK 35/36 anti-tank gun. After this improvement, the L2H431 came to be known as the Protze, and could hold 1 driver and 5 artillery crew. From the start of WWII the Protze was employed as standard equipment in anti-tank artillery divisions and was actively deployed to battlefronts in France and Poland.
         
    
Every characteristic of the towing truck version of the Krupp Protze such as the ammunition boxes and the crew seats on the rear part, and the spare wheel for the anti-tank gun has been realistically reproduced    Four all new figures are included in the kit. This set is perfect for the achievement of a convincing diorama.   The unique and complex configuration of the Krupp Protze towing truck is a typical feature of early WWII German vehicles
         
    The chassis with is double wishbone suspension has also been replicated down to the finest details. The front wheel steering is moveable.

The most frequently used anti-tank gun during the first half of WWII was the 3.7cm Pak35/36. Tamiya provides you with a fine replica of this famous weapon and couples it with many accessories
