Last year Dragon released a stunning 1/72 scale plastic kit of Panzerf??hre Prototype Nr.I, and it justly received international recognition by winning the �?MODELL FAN�� award in 2012. That kit is now being joined by another identically scaled model, this time depicting Prototype Nr.II. It�?s destined to be just as hot! The Panzerf??hre (abbreviated to �?PzF�?) was an amphibious tractor conveniently based on the chassis of a Panzer IV Ausf.F tank. Development of the Panzerf??hre began in early 1941, and by mid-1942 Magirus had delivered two prototypes. The lightly armored, fully tracked vehicle had a boat-like bow and a propeller at the stern. The amphibian�?s main function was combat supply on land and in water. It could tow an amphibious trailer, or alternatively it could work in tandem with another Panzerf??hre as a floating ferry platform capable of carrying a 24-ton load. However, because heavier tanks were appearing on the scene, the PzF never went into production because of its inadequate payload.
