Don't remember where I found this picture a while back. Is this what the 1/18 Indiana Jones Staff Car is supposed to be?
What is it?
Apologies if this subject has been covered already.

Indiana Jones Staff Car?
What makes the P-51 Mustang so special?

Yes, and iirc it's a "Horsch"? I'm probably butchering that.
The Indy car is a pretty solid base to work with to make them. I think there's quite a few pics of them around.
I think I've seen it called a "radio car" too.
I believe there are some variants or slightly different vehicles but very similar. One I know has spare wheel in the center and seems slightly longer but not much. I also swear I saw a 6 wheeled vehicle that sure looked like the same thing, only longer with 6 wheels.

Axis, Here's an interesting link with plenty of information.... http://www.tankmodel.com/WWIIB20.htm
The photo you posted is six down.
I think the Indy staff car is a combination of vehicles. Good for 1:18 customs.
I was working on a custom Kfz. 15 Horch.
I still have plenty of work to do. The Indy car is definitely a great base for a custom.

Great link! Thanks, Normandy!
Seems there were lots of variations on the theme. Just about any custom is potentially authentic. No two looked identicle.
