Horch Kfz 5 vehicle. North African campaign. 2GM Tamiya-37015

Description

Kfz.15 was a transport vehicle developed by the Horch company for the Wehrmacht (German Army) during World War II.

This truck was powered by a 90 hp 8-cylinder engine with a capacity of 3.5 to 3.8 liters, depending on the version. In the standard version, the car was 4.7 meters long and 1.86 meters wide. About 12,000 vehicles of this type were manufactured.

This vehicle was relatively successful in desert fighting, as it often got stuck in the sand due to its high weight and lack of traction in the terrain. The Kfz 15 was used as a personnel and officer transport vehicle.
