Frankenpanzer. A bit of this and a bit of that. But glad to see off-beat stuff instead of another Tiger tank.

I'd say a new Cromwell would be better to see than either a Tiger or this likely fake tank.

I only build German stuff and I have to agree with you.

This 'armoured' vehicle would have been very successful it was used: the allies wouldn't have known whether to shoot it or pet it!

According to Panzertracts No.20-1 page 38-39, this was a BMW proposal for a requirement put forward for a small, cheap, and light weight tank destroyer, to be armed with the PAW 8 low-pressure AT Gun. It was built as a wooden mockup (two photos exist) before the project was abandoned.

Also worth noting this is a boxing of an existing Amusing Hobby kit that was included as a bonus with purchases of their E-100 series in special bundles, (buy two E-100 versions, get a free Rutscher), with additional decals, so it's not a super resource-intensive kit to sell, and it is nice to be able to buy the thing directly, as it never went up for individual sale directly from amusing hobby.
