What the? Frankenstein Field Mod

Forgive me if this has been posted before. This is from "SS Das Reich" by Mattson. Trying to figure out what it was before what it became :?

The vehicle is a SDKFZ 10/5 with light front armor plate and a pak 38 I guess.

Thanks. Looks like VERY light armor. :!: Note the machine gun mounted over the engine with the curved pieces flaring out. Any engine heat was probably welcomed warmth in that environment. :wink: Guess the driver looks through that slit in the "armor" piece.

Hey guys,

thanks a lot for your support. I am on my way for a third surgery. I hope to see the end of this someday :(

Yes, it's the SDKFZ 10 is a 1 Ton class. It is based on the SDKFZ 250.
