Big, ugly and fascinating! The actual gun platform must have really taken a pounding when fired -even the outriggers could not save it from that. And talk about another BIG kit!

No. It was not. I think it was designed based on the chassis for a bus. The vehicle was also used to carry a telemeter.

There was a similar truck, the FAUN L 900, which was used to carry Pz I and Pz II, one tank on the load bed and one on a trailer. Loading was done by driving the tank up on the trailer and then over the front of the trailer up on the load bed. There were seats for the tank crew at the rear end of the load bed and beside the driver so two crews could be carried.










Four crew members sitting behind the tank on the load bed.

VOMAG with telemeter:
