Many years ago Max (Gary), Painless and I got into model non rc cars,
Search the Forum and all will be revealed,
I think Max found a six wheeled Mercedes (A G7 ?) and Painless found a model of a post WW2 Traction Avant, Which triggered my plan,
Because the German Armed Forces took over Citroens car plant outside of Paris I wanted to get a prewar model of the TA and I was lucky in my search and with very little work produced a German Army Staff Car.
The German Army's Traction Avant was to be found throughout the West and East of the German area of Battle.
The Germans loved them, They were far more comfortable and had a much lower profile than their German counterparts and in a forward area such qualities are greatly valued.
You Rob have created one on the other side of the battle and you have made a lovely job of it
