good news from the front

Post by Crazy Kraut » Sun Mar 03, 2019 12:32 pm

Once again the brilliant german field engineers (pickelhaube and crazy kraut) customized a damaged and captured allied vehicle for the use in german military service.
Hope you like it.

many thanks to Matthew for the SDKFZ turret and Grunt for the 3D-printed Nebelwerfer. Without you guys and all the other customers these projects would never come to life.
thanks for keeping our hobby/scale alive
Best regards from Germany

Sven, another fantastic custom very cool idea. I like the Stuka Zu Fuss rockets on the
side of the halftrack. The Nebelwerfer and SdKfz 251 turret make it an interesting custom.
Nice job!

Nice job and interesting custom!

That’s the sort of vehicle I’d want to have to survive the apocalypse :wink:

I remember back in the 1960's the ABC TV Series Combat! And the Rat Patrol used US Half tracks painted up like German Half tracks. One of them had a turret like this grafted onto a flat sheet over the top of the rear section of the rear hull. It so reminds me of this, it isn't funny! Thanks for posting this I love it.
