That looks good Domi. This would be a great diorama for a Feature, if you would submit photo's to the NRC.
Cheers

Neat looking AFV in the middle and I like the Kubel, as well. I have a similar project stalled on a back burner.
You've listed this as 1952, which means you have two anachronisms. The Route 2 sign is for an interstate higway. That system was not begun until 1956. Your US falg is the current 1960+ 50 star flag. Google 48 star flag for the correct pattern on the canton. BVoth of those would be understandable for someone who doesn't live in the US.
Other than those two timeline bits, everything looks really good.

Very intriguing diroama, though I should mention that in two "Hitler won" science fiction stories I read, the Wehrmacht never tried to conquer the Western Hemisphere. Also, in one story Britain was conquered, but in the other it wasn't, but they had to provide a military base for the Wehrmacht.

Uber cool stuff Domi, the Kubel half track is a great piece of kitbashing and the "spider" tank is superb.

Great work. A very good layout of the diorama and the "tank" in the middle is fantastic!
Very good "what if" diorama.

Interesting Dio! I do have a couple of questions though.... That tank looks to be at least 40 tons - How in the hell would all that weight be supported by 4 "legs" and wheels? I doubt seriously if it could have moved (Where's the drive system to the wheels - is it a chain and sprocket?
I am not trying to be ugly, I just can't see how it be realistic even in the re-written WW2 "what if" realm.

Hi Domi. One of the most imaginative dios I have seen. The kubel halftrack stands out for me .... although, the whole scene, ideas, etc are quite spectacular. Its quite refreshing to see some models from "outside the box".
