I am pretty sure that Land Rover had a similar tracked variant and of course the six wheeler Landie was a favourite with RAF Fire Sections.
There is/was an Opel Blitz rear tracked 1/16 available from a German dealer although I cannot remember who.

This is a very cool vehicle. It's for finding these pictures that make this forum the best there is

I've also been looking at this, not for military application, but maybe to make a safari vehicle. I've already got a Cheetah for it to chase. 8) 8)

Will, I can't believe you're not all over that half track Kubelwagen. The way it's jacked up in the rear (like a '57 Chevy Hot Rod) I would think that would be very appealing to an old Rat Rodder like you. 8)

The Land rover halftrack called the Centuar we fitted a 20mm Gam Co1 on the back and I fired it in various ranges around the uk. as a platform it was good but as a go anywhere vehicle we kept bending the steering rod connecting link between the front wheels. She was good for 55mph BUT mind you a bit hairy for keeping in a straight line at that speed.
