The Sd KFz 7 was an 8-ton armored tractor truck, fitted with a quadruple barreled Flakvierling 38 anti-aircraft gun. Originally designed for use against enemy aircraft, this innovative and distinctive looking vehicle/gun combo was also highly effective against ground based targets and personnel. The Sd.Kfz. 7 first entered service in 1938. Its primary use was as a tractor for the 8.8 cm FlaK gun and 150 mm howitzer, but anti-aircraft variants were also produced. It could carry gun crews of up to 12 men and their gear, with room for ammunition storage as well. This vehicle was used throughout the war.
The 1:32 scale version of the Krauss-Maffei Sd Kfz 7 by Forces of Valor has a 360 degree rotating anti-aircraft gun with pivoting barrels mounted to the tractor's flat bed. This halftrack is constructed in diecast metal and plastic that highlights the model's details. The weapon features an extensively detailed interior, drive train and suspension, and a folding windscreen. The rolling rubber tracks and wheels, steerable front wheels, separately applied battlefield equipment and a variety of battlefield diorama accessories only adds to the incredible realism achieved by this piece.
