Hi Jenny

Interesting model. But did they actually do this?

Simon

Yes, I agree SP, it looks interesting, but Ive never seen/read any reference to it. Not to say Ive seen/read everything, or that Im any kind of expert, or that it didnt in fact exist. But Im guessing if it did it was a one-off, possibly a field conversion, and that limits my likelihood of buying it.

From looking on other sites, that appears to be the case RB.

Simon

Right. Did you find any pix?

Somebody on Mil Mod said they had, but I couldn't find them.

Simon

Just found this on the ML Forum

Just found one actually, from a site in N.Z., and appears to be genuine.

It still strikes me as being an in-the-field job though as Ive never seen any previous reference to it. Jeez, Cyberhobby must THOROUGHLY comb the web looking for German obscurities!
Ooh, ya just beat me!

Okay , now we know that Cyber hobby brings out the bizarre weapons in this range , so there would be few at best .

What I am working out is what are the roller wheels off ? They would have to be something reasonably common , a single mine detonation would likely destroy a whole block of four . I am thinking the wheels would be off something captured and at hand . Possibly they look like a profile similar to the large road wheels of a Valentine ? Any other suggestions ?

The pix arent clear but they look similar to arty towing half-track wheels (SdKfz 7 etc), though they look way too small. Something Italian perhaps?
