that is neat, I wish I could get one and restore it. That would be especially great for reenacting. But have fun restoring it, if thats what you plan on doing, and when done show us it.

Thanks,
Brandyn

Hello Robert

What a find! I sent you a PM, check your mail box.

Like colleague Kuligow already stated, the Ausf. A is a really rare beast!

To my knowledge, there is only one other known survivor in a South-African museum. There was one in the Victory Memorial museum in Arlon (Belgium) which is now in the Kruse collection in the US. It is mumured that this last one had a copied body.

This one in South Africa is Ausf. B. My is very early, strange model with thin body, 3mm metal sheet on cabin. This is problem, because is no model for remade missing parts!!! Now i must collect lot of photos of this halftrack.

Best regards
