This is another ancient Airfix conversion gleaned from the pages of Airfix magazine. A simple conversion of the Sdkfz 7 into one adapted for artillery command. Basically it just has a big box on the back for all the various bits including the battery commanders Schnapps. My 'Battle' Germans used to ride around in a trio of Airfix Sdkfz 7s, and this was the fate of one of them.

Lovely! I (predictably) have two of these. I didn't build either of 'em....
ReplyDeleteDear Tim,
DeleteI'm sure that at least one of them was Built by Chris Willey, or a mate of his.

Thank you. I think it looks a bit high mileage myself, but as it is getting on for 40 years old, it isn't doing too badly.
ReplyDeleteNone of my old Airfix stuff seems to suffer from the mysterious 'track rot' other people have complained of. Maybe it depends how they are stored.
Excellent

And you know what it looks like you did a bit of research here ;)
