Hallo
Habe hier ein ganz altes Model gekauft für kleines Geld - 90 Euro - und werde es auf scale umbauen
Getriebe , elektronic und Vorderachse sind top
Auf dem Half truck Laufwerk ist eine Kunststoff Pz III Kette montiert was perfect passt und funktioniert
Gr Ralf

What scale is that truck, Ralf? I translated "...und werde es auf Scale umbauen" as "I would like to convert it to scale," but I am not sure I got that right. What do you have in mind?
"Habe hier ein ganz altes Model gekauft für kleines Geld - 90 Euro - und werde es auf scale umbauen
Here is a rather old model I bought for very little--90 Euros--and I would like to convert it to scale.
Getriebe , elektronic und Vorderachse sind top
The drive system is electronc and the front axle works very well.

Plastic Panzer III tracks are mounted on the half track running gear, which is quite suitable and works.
(That's a little practice with German for me and maybe a help to those who cannot read German. )

Should be fun
Did the Maultier not use Panzer 1 tracks which were much narrower? If so, you can buy Panzer1 metal tracks fairly easily, i see the rear looks alot like the Torro halftrack setup.
Its a good looking truck, but it depends on how far you want to go to make it true to scale

Hi
It is the half truck

Drivers cabin , electronic , truck bed and transfer case is the cost more , so it was a good deal for me

The maultier used the same tracks and suspension as the british universal carrier, I have used the asiatam maultier tracks for my bren carrier build and they are good quality, and unfortunately a little expensive because they aren't available from anywhere else
