It kind of grows on you though...the more you look at it...though still very ugly....the unusual placement of the anti aircraft gun...kind of makes sense
It's like a General...went on a ship...then that ship got into a battle with some aircraft....a light bulb went off in the general's mind ....and Bam!...let's mount one of those on a Halftrack
What hits you visually like a "Brick in the head" is the "crude" looking gun shield in the center photo...a definite after thought
