This has always intrigued me.
Only one made and traded from Germany to the Japanese. Captured by the Russians toward the end of the war.
Possibly a one man recon tanket.Used for laying cable says another source.
Very futuristic almost Star Wars like.
One of the rarest armored vehicles to survive the war.
Interest ?

One AT mine and that thing is toast. And by toast I mean the vehicle itself may remain intact, but the person inside would have so many broken bones and head trauma after the 20 ft jump into the air and plummet back to earth that it would be rather useless. I agree with Flyboy, this one is not worthy PH.

Looks like one of those Smart Cars (death Cars more like it.)

Don't you have a 1/18 Hetzer to do first?
The sign of a great model is that one’s eye is not drawn to any one feature, yet one can study it for hours and continually find something new.

Probably the smallest armor vehicle i seen.I never seen one of this before.It looks like another Nazi wonder weapon never produced.

The outside tracks/rails rolled and the inside stayed balanced.
Kind of like one of those kids toys.
