The Kfz.70 6x4 Truck served throughout WWII after mass production commenced
in 1933. Some 7,000 trucks were produced up until 1942 and the vehicle was powered
by an air-cooled 3.308-liter flat-four engine. The horizontal engine gave rise
to the truck’s 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 such as the 3.7cm Pak 35/36 antitank cannon. Now Dragon
Armor is getting in on the action with a new fully built-up model in a personnel
carrier configuration, in which state it was known in German nomenclature as
the Kfz.70.
The Kfz.70 6x4 truck is finished in a winter camouflage scheme of white swirled
over the panzer gray basecoat. It isn’t known what unit the truck originally
stemmed from, but it did serve on the Eastern Front in 1943. The wheels and
independent coil spring suspension are masterfully represented, as is the raking
hood. To add to the item’s appeal and value, the truck is towing a gray-colored
3.7cm PaK 35/36 anti-tank cannon as well. This 6x4 truck was a workhorse of
the German military during WWII, and here Dragon Armor has put it to good use
towing a common early-war anti-tank cannon.
