Today is going to be one of those drink coffee-watch Saving Private Ryan while working on a model.
Trying to turn this:
Into this…
Horch Type 40 A1 mit 2cm FlaK 38.
Like, I have serious WWII German Armor and Flak fetish. And thos vehicle entails all those things I love; weird field conversions, anything Flak 38, 43, 88 and of course anything built on the Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) chassis (Namely Jagdpanzer 38, Flak Geopard and the Marder series).
While it isn’t a ‘Hetzer’, it does have a really cool field conversion thing going on, and it was something that started in the African campaigns. During the those initial pushes, the Germans realizing they are in short supply start using captured AA guns mounted on Opals, Horchs, and various half-tracks.
This has been a daily Panzer-Rant from the Fallschirmjager. Carry on!
