LAST ONE IN MY INVENOTRY
Model is brand new, stock received from a manufacturer

This model was a part of the First Corgi release of their new series of WW II vehicles.

I’ve sold out all my inventory of this model in 2003-2004 but this particular model was misplaced in my warehouse with few other Corgi models and I just found that box

ATTN: Please note that the model appears as on the picture.  The yellowish/green camouflage is on the CC60003.  It appears that Corgi mismatched pictures at their catalog and since many stores present pictures of vehicles in wrong liveries.

German 12. Armee was a World War II field army (Wehrmacht) that was activated on August 13, 1940.  The first commander was General Wilhelm List.  The army first combat action was defensive action along the Siegfried Line, the army was involved in the invasion and occupation of France.  Latter it was relocated to Romania and in 1945 relocated for the final defensive operation along the Elbe River against Russian forces.  Under the general Walter Wenck the army fought the last attempt to relive Berlin but was stopped after reaching Postdam by superior Russian forces.

ABOUT THE VEHICLE
Though, the most coming application of this semi-track vehicle was towing the most effective antitank/antiaircraft gun of WWII it was big and strong enough to carry duty as a tank recovery tow truck, and use as a platform for self propelled antiaircraft guns not only for 20 but 37 and 50 mm guns.

Weight: 11.55 t. Length: 6.85 m. Width 2.4 m. Height: 2.62 m. Engine: Maybach HL62TUK. Speed 50 km/hr (31 mph).

A great addition to a military models collection, could display great on O gauge railroad diorama. Same size as Solido/Varem or Tank Museum models but in my opinion better detailed, undoable better paint job with imprints (no decals, you know a headache to put them on, than they change its color with age, falling off and so for) and Corgi military models are at or below price of Varem models.

Not suitable for children under 14 (it is not a toy), but perfect for one who over 30.
