Das Werke will release a German Einheitsanhänger 5t trailer and a new version of the L900 Faun.
The Anhänger 5T or 5 tonne trailer, known by the official nomenclature of „Einheitsanhanger 5 t Baumuster E 5“ was the standard medium military trailer of the German military throughout the second world war.

With a load capacity of 5 tonnes, and an empty weight of approximately 2.5 tonnes, the Anhänger 5t could be seen hauling material anywhere the German military was active.

Also utilized by the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine for transportation duties, the Anhanger 5t proved so rugged and useful that it continued to serve other masters well after the end of hostilities

The kit has been created in cooperation with Bolddivision and features side and rear panels buildable in 2 different options (raised or lowered), specific decal sheet and drawbar and front axle fully movable


The new version of the L900 is the Hardtop model, comes with 3 different suspension springs for different load status (Unloaded, Neutral and Full loaded) Freightbed side walls are buildable up or downwards and contains brass tubing with bending jig for freight bed arches.

The parts for building the soft top version are included in the box as well, and there are also a number of corrections of their previous kit like Improved towing hitch/hook, Improved exhaust system (muffler) and new multiple part plastic wheels with corrected dimensions.

Absolutely love it. The perfect background element for my dioramas. These were everywhere carrying supplies from the nearest rail station and depot. This would pair really well with the Skoda RSO Radschlepper! In dunkelgelb aus DG ‘44 II with airbrushed squiggle stripes of RAL 6011 Resendagrün and lots of foliage and leaves.

Hello, What I have seen and read on the website is really looking promising. All details which can be found on the 5 ton Anhänger in the corresponding manuals are translated into the kit perfectly. So, when compared with the resin kit of Bolddivision which already is excellent, the plastic kit will be fantastic. Only one example: The front section in order to combine the trailer with the truck is very simple on the resin kit but features all relevant details on the plastic kit. The same holds true for the mainenance tools which are completely missing in the resin kit. With regard to the hardtop Faun I have understood that not only a different cab is included, but also corrected wheels. By that eresin wheels will no more be necessary. Gert

The IPMS Website shows a picture of the Faun Hardtop model. There are new parts in creamy sand color which are cab and wheels. But there will also a new muffler and a towing device..

Whatever happened to the hardtop version of the truck? Is it not being released?

Modellbau König writes that it is expected for mid/end of October

Ah, that is good to hear - I thought they'd dropped the project.

The boxes are probably on a slow boat from China ....
