Thank you Peter. Made from 1/35 Italeri 'Katyusha' 1/35 - Heller 'GMC 2 1/2 ton ' -and 1/48 scale T-34 - tracks from 1/35 'Rommel ' halftrack. Truly one of a kind.

Very nice model Jim. I like the unusual as it is different that is model making for me.

The soft top looks good whether plastic piece supplied or specially made it looks the part.

A very good model. I have often wondered how these half-tracks (right name?) steered. If the ground is so slippery that tracks are needed to go forward, I wonder how the conventional front wheels managed to provide the sideways thrust needed to alter direction, without slipping, especially when going up hill when the downward force in the front would be lower.
