Hi ALL!
I know that this ISN'T the absolute correct place to ask this question! But you guys are into Armor, I think this qualifies!
I got this RoCo Minitanks Germany Staff car, it's in HO or 1/87 scale. I've looked alot of places to find out what the correct Minitanks number is, I've only found the number 836, then this Half Track has another piece to it, that would be a train flat bed that it sits on! Can anyone here supply me with a Roco MiniTanks catalogue #, and a description of what this really is? OR, another more correct forum!
Many Thanks, TankTedII

No idea on the Roco catalog number.

The actual vehicle is a German WWII 12 ton halftrack known as an Sdkfz.8 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug - special motorized vehicle #8). It was widely used, but not usually as a staff car. Its main role was a prime mover for wheeled artillery pieces.
