Whom would be interested in one of these in 1/18?


I am trying to find vehicles that people have enough interest in to make it viable for me to do. Costs in material usually run me about 500 with the mold compound, and resin, and sheet plastic.

Had to look up... :?

...The Name

This self-propelled gun is normally known by its nickname, ‘Dicker Max’, which means ‘thick’ or ‘fat’ Max. It did have a very large profile compared to other self-propelled guns built in 1941. It is also known by a number of other names. The long one is 10.5cm K 18 auf Panzer-Selbstfahrlafette-IVa or 10.5 cm K18 gepanzerte Selbstfahrlafette IVa.

Throughout most of its development, it was known as the 10 cm K.(Pz.Sfl.IVa), but was redesignated 10.5 cm K (gp.Sfl.) on 13 August 1941. The letter K stands for the German word ‘Kanone’, which means gun or cannon. ‘Panzer-Selbstfahrlafette’ translates to armored self propelled gun mount. The Panzerjäger-Abteilung 521 unit commander, Oberleutnant Kurt Hildebrandt, mentioned in his war diary that this vehicle was given the name ‘Brummbär’.

much to much dust on it :roll: :roll: I know :? :?

So for one of my next projects (german haubitze from merit in 1:16 scale) I need some kind of other towing vehicle. Maybe another captured alllied vehicle or a pair of Lanz bulldog :wink: :wink:
But the DICKER MAX would be a nice addition to my collection :wink:

Guess we could always upgrade even though only two were built.

Sturer Emil, always wanted to build one of these.
