Whenever there is a post about a new kit from some manufacturer there is nearly always a reply or two about some other vehicle/tank/gun that is more urgently needed.
"Why doesn't manufacturer Y produce a kit of X instead of Y ?"
Now I know what I will ask for in the future:
A tank transporter to carry my British WW I tanks
I stumbled upon this image when Googling 'mzkt-7428'
It is included in some Hungarian forum discussion which,
https://sg.hu/forum/tema/1228481325?order=asc
judging by the images, seems to be about tank transporters.
My knowledge of the Hungarian language is totally nonexistent ...

I must admit I was unaware that we had that kind of thing back then. Its interesting to note that the lorry is a 'Pickfords' one as the company still exists today mainly doing house removals rather than transporting tanks.

Actually I now think this is post ww1 as the bus in the background I think is too modern.

Great find! Yes, the thread is about tank transporters/haulers.
You gotta love how tiny looking that T-90 (?) is on the back of the MZKT-74135 (?)!

Yes, it looks like one of those little backpacks that some "city-dwellers" use instead of a small handbag
How about this combination in the "heavy haulage class":
Found on this page:

There are a few more pictures there.

Here's a WW1 tank transporter :
Knox artillery tractor + La Buire trailer + Schneider CA1 tank :
Blitz had released a 1/35th scale Knox tractor with the matching trailer but the former is OOP...
Here's a better version of the Pickfords truck (which is a Scammell) picture :
Full size
This picture was taken in June 1932...

Hi Robin,
Your guess was right, that forum is exactly about tank transporters ("...from the very beginning till nowadays", to be more specific)
