Ausf did a Tamiya DAK Kubel using a Losi 1/24 scale crawler for running gear and it came out fairly robust. I have the same kit and crawler, just need to get off my duff and get 'er done. I've come to the conclusion that I have waaaay too many projects waiting to be completed.
When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

I saw a RC tamiya kit Kubelwagen on Ebay £390+ postage
That's silly money for a 1/16. Reckin this 3d printed one can be done for between a 1/3 & 1/4 the price. :)

Stonechipped the bottom for textured look

Paint so far
2x coats Plastic primer
4x coats filler primer
2x coats red oxide
3x coats beige colour
Then need to camouflage and then weather and lacquer with matt
All printed 0.1mm layers for a good level finish which requires little sanding(phew cause i hate sanding! haha)

And a quieter motor / transmission! Looks so realistic but sounds so toy like. There must be a sensibly priced solution out there :(
