Dragon Armor 1/72 German Kfz.70 6x4 Krupp Protze Personnel Carrier Truck (60427)
Dragon Armor has come up with a fantastic new German soft-skin vehicle, the first ever in
this exciting range! It is a 1/72 scale Krupp Protze truck, with this type of vehicle
serving throughout WWII after mass production commenced in 1933. A total of about 7,000
trucks were produced up till 1942. This 6x4 vehicle was powered by an air-cooled
3.308-liter flat-four engine. The horizontal engine gave rise to the trucks distinctive
sharply sloped nose and also to its nickname Boxer. The truck was used for all kinds of
purposes and it was commonly employed for towing light artillery pieces such as the 3.7cm
Pak 35/36 antitank cannon. Dragons new model shows the truck in a slightly different
configuration, however, that of a Kfz.70 Personnel Carrier. Utilizing detailed research and
moulds from a recently released 1/72 plastic scale kit of the Krupp Protze Kfz.70, this is
certainly a delightful truck model. The fully built-up miniature incorporates full detail
both above and below the chassis. For example, the wheels and independent coil spring
suspension are masterfully represented. The Kfz.70 Personnel Carrier is finished in a
typical camouflage scheme of early-war gray, and it is registered with its very own
Wehrmacht WH number plate.
