Hello friends and community
Since the PaK is ready and I told you that there is a good reason for it, I would like to show you which model it is.
History and development
The three-axle wheeled vehicles of F. Krupp AG, unofficially designated as Krupp-Protze, were delivered to the Reichswehr or Wehrmacht under the designations L 2 H 43 (1933–1936) and L 2 H 143 (1937–1941). Approximately 7000 of the striking vehicles with the sloping bonnet were used in the Second World War as sports cars for light Pak or flak, team transporters and telecommunications / radio vehicles.
Compared to other military vehicles of the time, the construction was characterized by an unconventional technology: the central frame made of pressed U-profiles had a non-driven rigid axle at the front with a transverse leaf spring package, while the four rear wheels were individually suspended on double wishbones. They were suspended by a helical spring lying horizontally along the top on each side. The air-cooled Krupp four-cylinder boxer engine drove all four rear wheels via two limited slip differentials. The hydraulic brake acted on all six wheels; the handbrake on the gearbox and thus on both rear axles. The Krupp engine M 305 with a displacement of 3460 cm³ was also used in the Panzer I (version A).

Hello community
Now we let the printers work
The first test part has already been made.
This is the first prototype of the Krupp Protze
Now everything is looked at exactly where the small mistakes have crept in
Then everything is prepared for large series production

An outstanding model I'm also greatly impressed by the street 'furnishings'. The cobblestones are as good as anything I've seen, for diorama roads.
