The plastic model kit Tamiya 35239 German 18-Ton Heavy Half-Track FAMO in 1/35 scale is a masterfully reproduced miniature of the German heavy half-track vehicle Schwerer Zugkraftwagen 18t (Sd.Kfz.9), better known as "FAMO". This model is a faithful replica of one of the most important transport vehicles of the Wehrmacht used during World War II—from 1939, throughout the conflict, until its end in 1945.

The Sd.Kfz.9 was the largest German half-track vehicle during the war. Around 2,500 units were produced, serving mainly as prime movers for the heaviest artillery pieces (such as the 24 cm K3 or 21 cm Mrs 18) and for battlefield recovery of damaged Panzer, Tiger, and other armored vehicles. Thanks to its powerful construction, the 18-ton FAMO was also used for supply transport, troop movement, and logistical tasks on both the Eastern and Western fronts.
