Was wondering if the one in the picture is a static model,the tracks look like they are stiff looking and as much slack as there is looks like it would have a problem throwing tracks.I think it is possible to put tracks on just about anything,just depends on what you are attemping to do and how you want the final appearence to be.Tracks,sprockets,roadwheels,and room for the gearboxes is the limiting factor.I agree with you though it is a cute little vehicle,kind of looks like some of the snow-cats that have been built. ;D

Got to agree there is something about that little truck.
It's the Steyr RSO and was used in a variety of roles on the eastern front
because of it's mobility.

Here's a link t0 a card model of the Steyr in 1/25th.

That should be easier to scale up to 1:16

Cheers
