I am designing a range of Faun trucks to be 3D printed, and am really struggling to get any dimensional information on the Faun L908/54 VA, especially its wheelbase.
I believe that information is published in German in the Tankograd Militar Fahrzeug 2-2014, but this is expensive and most of the journal is irrelevant to my interests. I am hoping that someone in the Association has access to this journal (or other sources), and can provide me with the info; ideally also a scanned copy of the published plan (I think that this is acceptable under copyright). I have bought several Tankograds, but the value for money for this small bit of info is limited!
Thanking you in advance,
VJM787

Dear Hans-Hermann,
Brilliant! Thank you ever so much for this information - I could not ask for more. I already have designs for the L912 and L1212, in a variety of configurations, and was moving on to the 6-wheeled variants. This will keep me busy for a bit!
I appreciate your consideration and support.
Yours sincerely,
Vincent
