Hi, Tat!

Thanks for the announcement! I LIKE the German WWI, pre-WWII, and early (pre 1943) WWII stuff; I wish there were more of it available.

As a counterpoint, who would be interested in the British/US Mk.VIII "Liberty" Tank in plastic? The COMMANDER MODELS resin Mk.VIII is a bit rich for my wallet...

This is a model I am looking forward too and strangely the only tier 1 in WoT I have kept.

Now this is interesting! A nice change and would look good with some Reichswehr figures (surely easy enough to convert); what next perhaps - a Grosstraktor?

Well done ICM.

I wonder if this is what the German Panzer forces initially used to train in secret at the camp in the Soviet Union? I've never seen one of these before and am intrigued.

yes, it was. I only know this because the vehicle interests me, and I did a google search of it. I’m amazed at the amount of information available on this vehicle.

I was just researching how to go about building one of these. Thought it would be interesting, with an appropriate Soviet crew.

Even though the secret training facility was deep in the Soviet Union how would "an appropriate Soviet crew" be in on this? I sort of doubt that they did a lot of cooperative cross-training. More observer, I would guess.

This design was being considered by the Russian government.
