762 - SdKfz 161/4 2cm Quad AA, well known ADA tank from mid 1944 on.
763 - Kfz 70 Krupp Protze, towing vehicle for the 2cm and 3.7cm ADA guns, as well as for the 37mm PaK, ubiquitous vehicle of the first half of the war.
764 - Henschel 33 Dl, widely used 3-ton truck of the pre- and early war years, many soldiered on to the end
576 - reissue of the field workshop set, containing an A-frame hoist, welder's kit including acetylene and oxygen bottles, tools, barrels, jerrycans, etc, also very much of interest for civilian modelers.
724 + 4023 - two variants of the U416 Unimog, which is in widespread civilian and military use worldwide.
4022 - Land Rover 109 reissue, this time decorated for the German technical emergency service (similar to CD in the US), by leaving off the emergency light on top you get a civilian vehicle.
