1/35 FELDKÜCHE AUF 3,6-36S 3t LKW PmQ600-TYPE

The 3.6-36S series trucks were among the common three-ton vehicles used by the German Army during World War II. Their reliable chassis, easy maintenance and solid handling characteristics made them a popular platform not only for transporting material and personnel, but also for specialized conversions. One of these was the PmQ600 field kitchen, a mobile facility designed to prepare meals for units operating in conditions where permanent facilities could not be relied upon. This kitchen was equipped with a multi-chamber cooking unit, additional storage bins, tool drawers and storage space for food - it was a key means of logistical support that ensured the morale and performance of soldiers at the front.

Field kitchen vehicles appeared on the Eastern Front, in North Africa and in Western Europe, accompanying combat and support units. Their mobility allowed them to prepare hot meals virtually anywhere - often close to the battlefield or during movements. It was an unobtrusive but essential part of the army's daily operations, and was crucial to the logistics and comfort of the soldiers.

The MiniArt 53037 1/35th scale kit offers a highly detailed rendition of the 3.6-36S truck including chassis, engine compartment, cab and storage elements. The PmQ600 field kitchen is depicted with many small accessories - boilers, containers, utensil drawers, work surfaces and small tools. Also included are realistic surface details, finely molded parts, and a wealth of equipment to create a faithful scene of Wehrmacht rear operations. The model is ideal for dioramas depicting everyday life in the field and the logistical side of military operations.

The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
