3603 Zvezda 1/35 German heavy half-track truck Mercedes L4500R Maultier

Additional Information

In Russia, with virtually no paved roads, thousands of cars were stuck in mud and snow and abandoned during the first military winter. Even all-wheel drive Mercedes-Benz L 4500A could not carry goods on the Russian off-road. So in 1943 on its base was created a half-track all-terrain vehicle Mercedes Benz L4500 R Maultier (3603 Zvezda German heavy half-track truck). On the car was installed crawler engine from a light tank Pz.Kpfz.II . The weight of the car increased, the load capacity decreased to 4.5 tons, the maximum speed fell to 36 km/h, and fuel consumption reached 200 liters per 100 km. L 4500R produced until 1944, having to build 1486 such machines.
