discussion Tracked in Black

Here's one for ya, an old Zil and a set of 1/48 scale T34 running gear and 1/35 scale German halftrack tracks

Getting our supplies, fuel, and equipment to our sometimes remote and off road
job locations can be very tricky indeed. "Toro Negro" (The Black Bull) makes it easily
and confidently through every time

There I go fantasizing again

Fun. The running gear looks like it came off a T-50 light tank

Y'know, there are any number of weird half-track conversions like this. There was a unique Matador with tracks and running gear off of a Valentine, but it was too complex, an d kind of pointless!

Thanks, running gear is from a 1/48 scale T34 shortened by one roadwheel, that's why it may resemble a T50.
The roadwheels do look similar also.
