Revell 3291 MAN 7t Milgl 1:35

To supply combat and support troops on the battlefield with,for instance, munitions, lubricants and fuels, in difficult terrain

highly mobile cross-country vehicles are used. In 1964, under the leadership of MAN (Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg,

with the participation of the firms Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz, Büssing, Henschel and Krupp, the GB (joint bureau of the

German commercial vehicle industry) was formed. The aim was to develop cross-country transports of the family of vehicles known as the „new generation" which were introduced in the German Army at the end of the seventies. Thanks to their allwheel drive (6 x 6), the use of a torsion resistant box section frame and jointed axles, the 7 t mil gl category I vehicle has excellent cross-country mobility. With an air-cooled V-8 Magirus-Deutz BF 8 L 413 F engine developing 253 kW (320 hp) it can reach a top road speed of 90 km/h. With a maximum permissible total weight of 18,500 kg it is possible to transport a net load of 7,000 kg over a range of approx. 670 km. The cabin can accommodate the driver and two passengers. The 7t mil gl also serves (and has served) as a support vehicle (ammunition and crew) for the M 107/M 110, as a tractor for the FH 105 mm and FH 155 mm towed artillery systems, as a carrier for the reconnaissance drone CL-289, as a three-sided tipper with suitable body and as a platform for the 110 mm LARS 2 rocket launcher.
