The website lists the kit for $75 USD and shipping at $25, I believe. I want the company to upscale it and offer a similar version for the FAMO kits -who's with me?


I admit an "all seat" artillery version of the FAMO would be nice but I doubt there was ever a Telemeter version built of this large vehicle as it would have been a waste to tow the light weight Tele trailer with such a high capacity halftrack.

However, I suspect you are referring to making just the roof framing for the FAMO available?


Scratch building this support framework is not out of the realm of possibility.

The Telemeter mechanical Predictor computer was an extremely sophisticated device for the day.

Just as a suggestion; Panzer Concepts might want to consider offering the rangefinder travel case also as a possible separate purchase item. I know when I built the Telemeter I was wishing I could have added the case to the presentation.

Early style Kdo 36 Telemeter carried on four wheel trailer took a larger crew to man than later Kdo 40.

Panzer Concepts is now announcing a companion piece to this half-track conversion, the Kfz. 415. They are soon to be offering a similar body to convert the Bussing-Nag truck to go with the Telemeter.

You can find it over at:

THE PERFECT companion for this or the Panzer Concepts Kfz. 415. This one comes from DES or shows us the perfect conversion one might want to make to the Bronco plastic kit:

Can you get the cover supports by themselves?


Hear, Hear!

Release the cover support by itself and you (Panzer Concepts) got an order for 3 from me alone!

..."Let's make it happen, cap'n!"...
