Indiana Jones Staff Car?

[Axis Nightmare]

Don't remember where I found this picture a while back. Is this what the 1/18 Indiana Jones Staff Car is supposed to be?

What is it?



Apologies if this subject has been covered already.

Yes, and iirc it's a "Horsch"? I'm probably butchering that.

The Indy car is a pretty solid base to work with to make them. I think there's quite a few pics of them around.

I think I've seen it called a "radio car" too.

I believe there are some variants or slightly different vehicles but very similar. One I know has spare wheel in the center and seems slightly longer but not much. I also swear I saw a 6 wheeled vehicle that sure looked like the same thing, only longer with 6 wheels.

Axis, Here's an interesting link with plenty of information.... http://www.tankmodel.com/WWIIB20.htm
The photo you posted is six down.

I think the Indy staff car is a combination of vehicles. Good for 1:18 customs.



I was working on a custom Kfz. 15 Horch.






I still have plenty of work to do. The Indy car is definitely a great base for a custom.

Great link! Thanks, Normandy!

Seems there were lots of variations on the theme. Just about any custom is potentially authentic. No two looked identicle.

Yes so many possibilities with this. Jon did me a nice one a while back.

And thanks for the link above - its a great site.
