1/18 German Halftrack w/Rockets (Stuka Zu Fuss)

[B17Fortress]

I wish the companies had released figures that looked like that!

Sorry to get off topic, but does anybody know where I can get some of the german figures with the fall oak leaf camo?

[flyboy_fx]

The only accurate stuff is the oakleaf/ plaintree that the camo smock dual packs had.

[B17Fortress]

How about the smocks some of the dragon figures came with?

[flyboy_fx]

The SS camo is way too dark but it looks good. THe splinter looks great AFAIK. I don't have any of those. I like the zeltbhans!

The dragon Wiking division and other figures come with ponchos that look great

Flyboys right.The Wagner figure in the Wehrmacht German Infantry D-Day dual pack, has the best oak leaf pattern from 21st. http://www.sshqdb.com/18/displayimage.p ... =587&pos=0

[B17Fortress]

Is there an online store that sells them? I have a felling that the oak leaf scheme would look the best next to the Stuka zu Fuss' ambush camo (there I made my question related back to the original post).

[normandy]

I hate to say it but check ebay . The 21st duel packs turned out to be a regional think, some parts of the country were flooded with them other areas never saw them.
The Stuka Zu Fuss can still be found online.

Infantry D-Day dual pack, has the best oak leaf pattern from 21st

...except the pattern on the second link is not Oakleaf it is an overprint/plaintree variant.

[normandy]

I stand corrected, thanks smittyrob.

This site my be of interest........http://www.kamouflage.net/country/00136.php

Thanks for sharing that, Seen that sight before. Has some errors and misconceptions, but a good general reference showing some of the patterns.

Here's a cool photo......in action.......

[smittyrob64]

That looks like an ausf A or B and an mg34, nevertheless an mg and shield should have been included on the 21st version.

Great picture by the way.

[flyboy_fx]

Fun fact, the crew where NOWHERE near these when they fired. Seriously .

[normandy]

Another great photo......

[cjg476]

Thanks for the ebay info...i appreciate it...also I love the pics...can you imagine....being there...your eardrums would bust...(without earplugs)...that would be awesome...

[Aslav]

Fantastic pic's normandy.
I find it interesting that neither half-track has a reverse facing MG and both have the forward facing w/shield.
Wonder why then, that 21st went the complete opposite.

[smittyrob64]

From the pictures you can't see the mg swing arms, but they would have had them. I think 21st just cheaped out omitting the front one ...(and the aiming rods).

[grunt1]

Where are the aiming rods? Can they be seen in the photos?

[smittyrob64]

Can't really see them in those 2 photos. Vertical rods mounted on the nose, possibly in the field apparantly to help aim the vehicle/rockets.

[aferguson]

the aiming rods took various forms, as you can tell from the above pics and were usually just wooden sticks, attatched to the vehicle to assist in pointing it at the target. Like all rocket launchers of the time, the rockets were quite inaccurate so this aiming method was all that was really needed. It's a nice little mod to make to your stuka zu fus and is pretty easy to do.

In my regular hanomag...the 1:18 one of course 21st century...it came with a large amount of accesories...can someone tell me what the suitcase like piece is meant for...I mean honestly what was held in something like that...I was in the cavalry for 4 years and I never loaded a suitcase like container in our bradley or humvees...I found it curious and I brushed it off trying to figure out what it was for...but now its getting to me...can someone ellaborate for me please...thanks...
