Hi all!

A time ago, our modeling club went to a Army Unit, here in Portugal, and visisted the Unit which contains two museulogical areas - one indoor and another outdoors. Lots of pics taken but...
I lost the description of this vehicle, and in the front pic (even in the source one, I cant read it ) but I remember of it beeing Canadian Built...



More pics of the same vehicle can be found here:

Thanks in advance for any input given to this Ol'Salty Dog!

DaveCox and MrRoo!!

Thank you so much for your input!
If you'll ever need any help in the Submarine Area, please ask!!

By the way, is there any 1/35 model of this "beauty"?
Thank you so much once again,

Skipper

Wespe Models has released a 1/35 resin kit of the GM8449/C15TA truck. According to what I've heard, it lacks many details....
You can find pics and informations about the C15TA here :

Thank you so much Frenchy!!

And all that helped too!

Good intel guys, but is it an M6 Otter or a C15TA? They both look identical to me. Is the M6 Otter a Danish army vehicle maybe? Did they get them from Canada and named them that? Are they variants of the same vehicle? What would the Portuguese designation be? Didn't the Brits use something similar called the Marmon Harrington?

I don't know that much about miltary vehicles but I'm learning more and more all the time thanks to Armorama!

Bob, how much coffee have you had this morning? (:-)

great conversion project...

Bob,

I will ask some of our club members and try and find out the Portuguese designation of it....

Skipper

Sorry about the caffeine high..... I've got to stop injecting it intravenously.....

I take it these are all the same vehicle, just different names given by different countries? Who designed and built the thing originally?

I'll look for replies shortly.....need a trip to Starbuck's!

As far as I know, the M6 Otter and the C15TA is the same vehicle!

Here is a Danish webpage dedicated to the C15TA:

Sorry, the Otter and C15TA are very different animals, as the photo on the site below shows.

Here's the Wespe Models 1/35 scale C15TA...



It looks cool (from the pic) but a little expensive!!
The rear looks a little longer than the real ones on the pics, though
