Martin, it's not German, it's a Soviet NKL-26 Aerosan (aerosled). For more info, see
www.battlefield.ru/library/bookshelf/aerosani/aerosan.html
the only kit is in 1/72 by Extratech. I've seen a photo of the vehicle (or another)from the front with a big 'ol Balkenkreuz on the nose, so it was probably employed in the "Beute" (captured) role. I scratched one in 1/35 and took a first in1/35 AFV Scratchbuild/Conversion at the '98 IPMS/USA Nats. I don't have the vehicle anymore, as I left if on display in a modelshop in Southern California, and when I returned, someone had walked off with it. The scratchbuild was not as tough as one might think, as Steve Zaloga had a nice 4-view drawing, in his Sov Armored Vehicles of WWII. I think I still have the drawings somewhere if you're interested.

Thanks for the link, its excellent!
I always thought that they were german, however thinking about it i should have known that they were russian considering how poorly equiped the germans were for the russian winters!
But i would assume that they managed to capture and bring them into there own service like they did almost every thing else. This is definatley a project for the future for me and would be grateful for any tips from you Rob.
Thanks again,
