Italeri Kfz. 12 Horch 901 Typ 40 Frühen Ausf. – 1:35 Scale Model Kit (Kit 6597)

Recreate a highly detailed early variant of the German light off-road vehicle. The Italeri kit number 6597 offers a 1:35 scale model of the Horch 901 Typ 40 Frühen Ausführung, widely used by the Wehrmacht for personnel transport and reconnaissance. 

Key Features

• Scale 1:35 – great size for display and detail. 
• Includes rubber tyres for enhanced realism.
• Decals for four different version markings.
• Historically accurate subject: Horch 901 Typ 40 Frühen Ausführung used by Germany early in WWII. 

About the Vehicle

The Horch 901 Typ 40 was developed in the mid 1930s as the Kfz.12 light off-road personnel car. The “Typ 40” early version (frühen Ausführung) simplified some features for wartime production and was used across various theatres. 

Build & Display Tips

For the best finish: prime all parts, apply realistic finish tones (e.g., Sandgelb RAL 1002 for early desert or Panzer Dunkelgelb 1943 for later service) and add weathering: dust the tyres, create light mud on wheel wells and touch up using a fine brush. A base with rough terrain or props like crates will enhance realism.

Why Choose This Kit?

If you’re a scale modeller who appreciates detail, authenticity and value, this Italeri Horch kit delivers an excellent subject. The combination of historic accuracy, usable parts and the brand’s reputation makes it a strong addition to any collection.
