Thank you gentlemen. The crews inside didn't come out in the photo as well as I'd hoped. When the final finishes are applied they will be done with position in mind as some sections were further forward than others.

I'm thinking of those photos taken in the Netherlands from a civilian's bedroom of a Werkstattzug in retreat through his village. Possible dio.

2 down 4 to go:smiling3:. Well maybe only 3 to go. 2nd Bergestaffel has been wiped out by Jabos while in transit by another route.

Just wonderful......a staff car, will there be a motorcycle as well? I just started a couple of Citroens along with others to build up my motor pool :thumb2:

Rick, Preiser has some excellent ones but I only use Kettengrads as regular two wheeled MCs are useless in winter or in mud IMHO. Unfortunately I think I'm out of them. I just finished 'Panzer Ace', a memoir by Von Rosen where he mentions using Kettens to quickly get from here to there & how the Werkstattzug one ton halftrack was priceless to him as it was so reliable and could go most anywhere anytime and was especially effective in the Rasputitsa. I'm going to include one in place of the Kubel called for in the Bergestaffel. Right now I'm thinking all the MCs are off running errands.

Excellent Paul that sounds like a plausible reason to make the substitution......Think I've read that book.......nope just checked, I read 'Panzer Aces'......which ain't bad either. Question: What is the make of vehicle with the Camo paint that you posted a pic. of early in this thread?

 

[minitnkr]

Tatra sdKfz 79, by Wespe I think. A really huuuge truck. Resin model that caused my grey hair. I had to resort to metal plates to conquer warpage/bad fit.

Nice......hope to see some better pics.......just got 3 ea. Tatra T-111's off evilbay.......bought mainly for cabs hood and fenders will add my own load beds to bring them into line with WW2 photos in the archive.......yes they are very large and 6 wheel drive as well as independently sprung.

Hi Paul, nice pics.......I have two Tatra T-111s from SDV one is a cement truck and the other is a fuel tanker. The third is a Hauler Resin kit that is superbly molded and is a dump truck.......got that one for $9.00 (only bidder) plus 4.75 shipping! The other two were almost double that but in the most wonderfully injected multi-colored styrene you'd ever want to see. Two outa three ain't bad! :thumb2: Rick H.
