Here's another recent build I copied from a photo I found on a Historical site on the Internet. This also involved bashing three different models to create something you don't find in the local Hobby Shop. Note:
the trailer is a product of my imagination but as one can see from the ref. photo the truck was equipped for towing. The topic under discussion was whether or not the truck was purpose built for the Wehrmacht or conscripted for military purposes. If anybody knows please let me know so I can get the proper decals on it. Regards, Rick H.P1010209.JPGP1010340.JPGP1010341.JPGP1010342.JPGP1010343.JPGP1010344.JPGP1010345.JPG

Hi Rick
I like that. Certainly looks like the photo and the trailer fits nicely.

Thanks Steve,
The Wheels are pretty much a standard feature on German trucks over 5 tons. I've heard them referred to as "trilex"wheels.
Thanks again for your interest,
Rick H.
