Much of the information is contradictory or just wrong - I suspect due to the political infighting and finger pointing. Hitler loved the vehicle because the huge metal wheels reminded him of the big wheeled artillery tractors of WWI so the idea for it's design was partly Hitler's. It had a top...

I don't think they were ever deployed on the Eastern Front because of political gamesmanship between some of the generals who favoured the Raupenschlepper and Maultier vs Ferdinand Porsche (the designer) and Hitler on the opposing side. Main points in the dispute were Porsche access to Hitler...

The first few Radschleppers were produced before February 1943 when all vehicles were painted dark grey. After in February 1943, the base paint for NEW vehicles was ordered to be dark yellow with a green or green and brown disruptive pattern. Most Radschleppers were produced after Feb. 1943 and...

There are extensive researches on WWII vehicles and equipment. They are usually in German or Russian. The photo Guy posted of the Radschlepper with the license WH-695392 as in the photo claims it was abandoned in thee Ardennes. Looking for confirmation I went to a Russian site where thousands...

That depends on the standard being used to measure. If the bar is low enough... ^&grin Terry

Itt's strange to be up here in Canada listening to all the descriptions of the storm on the east coast. For the past several weeks there has been little snow and with temperatures mostly just above freezing, the small amounts of snow melted quickly. The ground in the city is completely bare...

I'm waiting on the canon and gun crew Terry

I have most of the 2nd series the Pharmacie, Boulangerie, Cafe, Hotel and garage. The stock numbers begin with NV. I think they look excellent. But note they are smaller than the more recent series SP###. They are about 1/32 scale and the K&C figures look too big right up against them -...

That's snow Oz - not sand :rolleyes2:;) Terry

In Canada the only sane way is to have delivery through the postal systems. Customs only charges sales tax if it is over C$100 - C$150. Sales tax is 13% and Canada Post charges a fee of about $7 to collect the sales tax. If it comes by courier, the courier company collects the tax no matter how...

Nonsense. It's already beach weather here Terry

I don't think it is possible to protect toy soldiers in a major earthquake. In a small trembler, some of the figures will fall over and probably not be damaged. The greatest risk to your figures will be if they fall a long distance like to the floor. So think of protecting them from falling to...

Explosive rockets had rounded or ball shaped heads which could contain grape shot, solid round shot or a large explosive head. When the charge was grape shot, the rocket was meant to explode over the heads of troops or cavalry showering them with shot and shrapnel from the exploding case. Large...

There were 27 regiments of lancers, 10 of mounted rifles and 3 of light horse. Each regiment had its own lance pennant which was also worn in miniature as a collar patch. The K&C model pennants are of the 1st Uhlan Lancers which is Polish Crimson over White. Polish Crimson is a shade of Pink...

Something like 9 or 10 backup quarterbacks have won Super Bowls. Interesting to see what happened to them Terry

Amazing the way you blended in the background. Also realistic are the figures looking in different directions like a real patrol would do Terry

Here is one version of why it was not illegal. The Ref approved the receiver's position as being on the line of scrimmage even though he was a bit further back than the other 6 linemen. The line of scrimmage is not a precise line. Done by design as a trick play...
