i was wondering if anyone would know what truck/half track would pull the german pak 43/41 "Scheuntor" 8.8cm anti tank gun (from AFV club 1:35) and if there was in fact a kit of it in 1:35 available.

You can use a few things the Sdkfz 250 1/2 track it's cargo variant the Sdkfz 11 or the Tamiya Sdkfz 7 (personel carrier version) all are in 1/35 and should be easy to find

"German Medium Half-Tracked Prime Movers" by Reinhard Frank has a photo of one being pulled by a SdKfz 6 (5 ton) halftrack on a road - but stated that it would probably have been overstrained in off-road conditions.

Don't know of anyone that makes one in 1:35 though. If a 5 tonner could pull on, then for sure an 8 tonner (SdKfz 7) could have moved one (though I don't see any photos of one doing so) - these are available from Tamiya.

The sWS halftrack was one of the vehicles used to tow the 43/41 anti-tank gun.

Italeri produces a kit of the sWS.

thanx for that, good info on the subject.
