In WWII the Germans used many wagons and had many that were very well advanced. This is the HF7 wagon. It was made out of steel and had rubber tires. In Western Europe these were excellent wagons, they needed a good road network, as they were quite heavy and had somewhat poor cross country ability.
This excellent model is the latest release from Paul Heiser Models in HO 1/87th scale. It is a resin cast model, but as you can see it is highly detailed.
The model comes with a vehicle tow bar. As the war progressed, these were typically towed by vehicles, rather than animals. I have seen photos with both horses and men towing them due to the weight. This is the standard production model from PHM, they will not come with horses, they are very hard to cast in resin.
There is a very limited edition of these wagon that will have a set of horses, it will only be sold by Fidelis Models. This is an excellent model and it is an important vehicle that has not been done in this scale before.
