Captured halftrack

Post by frankie »

...built this for a friend who I’m trying to wean off his “German only” collection...went for a captured US vehicle hastily pressed into service...just got to add an aerial recognition flag draped over the bonnet... :thumbup:

That looks cool Frankie :thumbup:

Sorry, I still prefer your half track with the gun ring above the cab.

That’s a really nice looking half-track, think that canvas cover you made really sets it apart from all the gun toting half-tracks out there.... presuming it’s 1/16? :clap:
But it’s a dry heat!
