Sounds very interesting. So you make other models besides tanks. 😀 😛

And for a hippie commune, the VW minibus was the perfect vehicle. 😀 😛

Indeed it was.

Remember the Kharman Gia from Volkswagen? 😀 😛

No I dont recallt that one. 😛

 

[milagros317]

No I dont recallt that one. 😛

It had the same engine as the bug but a fancier body. See below. The actualy spelling is Kharmann Ghia. 😀 😛

He designed some real dogs for the German army during the war. He even had a design for the Tiger I series 😱

[milagros317]

I knew he designed tanks but any details. 😀 😛

He had designs for the Tiger I and Tiger II. However,the Elefant/Ferdinand 88mm self propelled series were produced .Great armor and main gun.But slow moving. 12 mph. 😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

Never knew about the tanks. 😛

Thanks my friends It will be an early version of a Soviet KV 2 heavy tank.It was armed with a 152mm (6 inch) howitzer in a huge turret. Then I need to finish a German Wespe model.I started it some years ago,but never finished.Then on to some Sherman variants. 😀 😛

I think so.We have a small terminal there.There is a big model show in August out there.The same type I went to last August. 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

It is likely to be very^99999999999 hot in Phoenix in August, perhaps even 120. So it depends how much time you will be outdoors. 😀 😛
