I recently purchased the Revell kit of the Demag 7 1 ton halftrack. What type of ordnance was this vehicle used to tow (AT guns, flak, artillery)?

Nebelwerfer is the first thing that comes to my mind...

Cool, I have a few old ESCI ones, not the best but not bad.
Would something like the PAK 40 be out of the question? I am thinking the 88 would have been way too heavy for the Demag.

I agree - I think the 88 would have been too much for the Demag D7. I think a PaK40 would be nice, if a Horch 4x4 Heavy Field Car could tow it, I think the D7 could too...

Hi,

It also tows some flak guns and a small howitzer that I can't remember the series at the moment.

tows a 15cm NbW 41/6, 2cm Flak 30(38), 7.5cm leIG18,or a 5cm Pak 38. Maybe a 7.5cm Pak 40 but that would strain it a bit. It was the platform for Sd Kfz 250 as everyone knows. Revell/ Italeri makes a good one, I have it and I like it.
