The T-Model TK7306 German 80T Type SSyms Schwerer Plattformwagen is a high-quality plastic railway flatcar model in the popular 1/72 scale, intended for self-assembly and painting. The model represents a German SSyms-type flatcar with an 80-ton payload, widely used by the Wehrmacht during World War II to transport the heaviest military equipment, such as Tiger, Panther, and Jagdtiger tanks. This set, created by the renowned T-Model company, stands out for its detailed reproduction of construction features as well as the high precision in the manufacture of parts.

Historical Information

The model is based on real SSyms flatcars, which were produced from the early 1940s in Nazi Germany. These platforms were designed for carrying extremely heavy armored vehicles to the front during World War II. This type of wagon was commonly used in areas occupied by Germany and in frontline operations, including during Operation Barbarossa and the Battle of Kursk. The wagon was in regular use from 1942–1945, though some units survived in the postwar rolling stock of European railways.
