Grunt, you are seriously "taking the bull by the horns" for the GPs in this hobby. Thank you.

This is a piece that I have been dreaming about for years.I have seen a 2 or 3 different attempts at this in 1:18. It's such a unique little vehicle and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

it appears the track and drive sproket are all one piece? Are the trailer wheels seperate and able to rotate?

Just a bug I have, I like things to rotate.

Me too.. That's part of why it's taking so long. But yes, those are individual gears and will each have their own screw or independent axle (depending on how things end up) to rotate on. The track is already a separate piece and is flexible, but not enough (yet) for it to roll. I'm working on a rubber or rubber like version now that I've got the size and spacing down. It would cost more but I'd like to have it as an option for those that want to make it fully operational.

I hate to think of what the final price will be, but your work looks awesome and I think I'd be down for one of these, especially since no one is making one

Thanks tman. I'm hoping that the base krad (no trailer) on plastic, not rubber tracks will be in the same price range as the Nebelwerfer.

My ME-262 needs something to pull it

Great, ok I want one, how do I order. I suppose these will be a kit form and unpainted?

This project is slow, not dead, though it may be moving so slowly you can't tell the difference.

Anyway, the front end is done:

Grunt, I've looked at old posts...... with no luck, how much did the Nebelwerfer cost?

I'll get to the point, what do you think the Kettenkrad will go for?
