Tomatentunke is the German word for Ketchup. So why not combining a cheap Panther kit with a ketchup bottle?

Years ago, when my German climbing buddies travelled to the US, the first thing they would reach for was the Ketchup!😋
They would spurt it onto everything! 😝

And next week - we combine a cheap Sherman kit and a lighter to make a nice table-lighter for a modeller.

Or make a vodka bottle out of a T34 kit..

Churchill as an Ashtray also comes to mind

Hmmm.. maybe the Tomatentunke Panther, or as its ofiicially named: Panzerkampfwagen V Ausf. A, Tomatentunkensprüher was intented to blind Allied troops and vehicles optiocs. I wonder with the dwindling supplies at the end of the war, how many genuine Ketchup was available or did the German invented ERSATZ Ketchup?

Fascinating read! Although, strangely, ketchup was not on the list....

I think a Scud B launcher with a vodka bottle would be pretty cool though!
