Thanks!

very nice.

Guys, it's an Sd.Kfz. 9, NOT A FAMO!!!

Oh, yeah, really nice build.

Yes indeed,, very nice results!!!

In the same way that a 911 is not a Porsche?

But a 911 is built by one company: Porsche. No Renault 911s, or Ford 911s.

Other companies besides FAMO built the Sd.Kfz.9.

Gents, the Wehrmacht planned an entire series of half-tracks, and this was at the apex for towing power. There isn't a HanoMag, there's an Sd.Kfz.251.

Bill I agree with you, but when you say Famo most people know what you are talking about. It is a bit like a Porsche king tiger which is also not correct.

Darren, you are of course correct, but

I'm not disagreeing with anyone; just having a bit of fun. It was actually educational for me to go and do some research to find the facts behind Bill's statement.

Wow, what a great FAMO. Looks just like an Sd.Kfz. 9.

Seriously, It is a beautiful build. Weathering is superb and the stowage looks realistic and really brings some life to the half track.

Yep, it's a very fine Sd.Kfz.9.

hi bill, ya there's dif tonnage versions of these vehicles & you have to pay attention, they can get confusing..especially if your not aware of the fact. I like the paint job.

Brilliant Work. I would love to someday have half the level of artistic skill you display here. I especially like the detail work put into the cargo being carried in the rear of the vehicle. It is that extra time put in that makes the model so realistic. Also, a quick question, how did you get the seat of the vehicle to have the appearance of leather stretched over the frame and not just painted on?
