On Track-Link suggestion came up this could be a future release as well. Interesting! I hope some day they release the Austro-Daimler Gun Tractor.
Think it's already on the market as a resin kit. Not sure about that.

Kind regards,

Robert Jan

Wehrmacht version

WW I version

No trailer with barrel or the rest of the weapon though ...

Yes, now I remember. But again way over budget. (Ferdinand Porsche Design I believe it was)

Same here, would be a must buy for me. But it's always nice to get more rail subjects. Hoping we get some 60t flatcars eventually too.

Checking their catalog, they have 4 kits in their WWI series coming out/being announced this year. There's the Omnibus and this kit so far, which leaves 39002 and 39003 to be announced.

Hi all,
I would like to know if these rail kits from Miniart are all new tooling or a rehash of the trumpeter or dragon kits from yester year

cheers

All the MiniArt rail kits are their own kits and new tooled, nothing at all in common with the company you mentioned. Built the Thunder models box car and now working on the new MiniArt box car with heater. Beautiful kit. Email me if you want sprue pics. [email protected]

I'm slightly baffled & amused that we started with an admittedly-dull piece of Russian rolling stock and ended up discussing a funky, weird Daimler from the same epoch...personally my attention was drawn to the rather oversized artillery piece being towed on the equally-bizarre trailer. Some of the WWI pieces are so shrouded in mystery that few know anything about them and photos are few.
