Unfortunately the Friul tracks i have bought for this project are slightly wider than the Magic tracks from Dragon set i have based my measurements on, and the mudguards are not wide enough.
So im rebuilding the mudguards right now:

Thats Tamiyas Kubelwagen typ 82 modified to fully tracked vehicle- my vision of what could have been. Im no expert in mechanical part of the build, like suspension, or drive mechanism- im only interested in the overall shape of the thing. I didnt like the look of prototype VW tracked designs.

"What if" stuff is fun and fascinating, so forget Purists.

Wow, the things that stand are out are: EVERYTHING..and the diamond boiler plate runnig board (KEWL!!! and well executed) and the axe and shivel! Very nice, But what else would we expect from an Egg Zepplin...

(I am sorry I couldn't cast the insulators)

Yes the first 2 fish and the last are carp, and the single green creature is called tench.

Another weekend passed with me spending the time away from the Kettenwagen factory.
This time the Flying Legends Show in Duxford kept me away.
