I was browsing through the site about the Africa Korps that Tigeriv posted and there I Stumbled among a vehicle named The "Diana" and more information then the name I didn`t get. It looks like it`s a Demag with a gun but gun unknown
Does anybody have more info on this vehicle??
Looking forward to all replies

If it's the vehicle I'm thinking of, it's a captured Russian 76.2mm AT gun, I'll try and confirm when i can get to my copy of "Encyclopedia if German Tanks of WW2" - if I'm right it's in there.

Hi
It should be something like this :
and the real McCoy :
It's a combination of a Sdkfz 6 with a captured Soviet 76,2 mm AT gun. AFAIK only 9 had been built...Azimut had released (long time ago...) a 1/35 resin kit (#35008) of this rare bird. The one on the upper pic is a 1/76 model from Milicast.

That could make a killer conversion, what with the easy, block-y sides of the housing, and the ready availability of the gun. But does anyone kit a SdKfz 6? I can't think of one off the top of my head...
