Realy thank you very much for comments. :thumbup: :{ :{


For Herr Dr Professor. Problem is that I changed the position of transversal rod. And pattern match with my frame. I can drawing a pattern, but builders need to made his own frame with same size than mine. If you want one, I think I will change some littles things to match even better...


Xiaoshan_Sailor, I love this model. Except need to change a drive shaft, it is a really good model. If you are going and if you see the 1/8 model, it will be good to see pics on this forum.... Maybe Torro will present a little Kubelwagen...

This is 2 pics, because I made a modification at rear of the canva. I cutted to be more accurate, with pics on internet.
