I'm connecting a Stug III, which I picked up tonight , to mine. Now, do I add a full interior to the Stug or not?

PORK-CHOP,
"JAGUAR" do a very nice FULL interior set for the StuGIIIF set no. 63507. This would look great.
SS-74,
"VERLINDEN" do a reasonable engine/transmission set but is overpriced in my opinion. Any chance of changing to a Pz IV? I could help out with extra detail sets from, ABER/CMK/MOSKIT/JORDI RUBIO etc....

I think I will just add Aber to the FAMO, and since I had built a couple of Pz IV based AFV already, I think maybe I do an either Pz III L or a K, or maybe a Stug III, I usually get turned barrel, Aber anyway, but would like to use the Moskit this time around, one question is the Famo capable to have a Nashorn on its trailer? If so I would love to give the Nashorn a chance.

Well, in answer to that I have seen the Famo+Trailer carry the PzKpfwIII which can weigh in at 24Tons, The Nashorn weighs 24Tons, so i would presume YES! I have, however never seen the Famo towing such a machine, and I doubt it would have had the opportunity. Most commonly, the Famo was used primarily as a towing machine (prime mover), but it served with the StrumGeshutze battalions in Russia amongst others. The artillery version most often towed the larger artillery pieces i.e 15cm, SiG33 etc...
It would be cool to see a Nashorn being towed, but probably not ON a trailer...Winter scheme???????

Does looked kinda weird with Nashorn's high profile and all....I have a number of German armors in stock, so I have my options....Maybe even towing an 88 if I decide to cut time and not do the trailer version......

Check out KMK website for more details on the FAMO.
Hope this is of use.....

Wow, those are fantastic photos. Just when I needed them to to reassure me mnay of the colo(u)r assumptions I had made from B&W photos were right.

Thanks,

I have a Famo - I am going to be re-painting it soon, please could you send me any relevant info on this vehicle. I am interested to see your model and any photos you may have.

Thanks - I found the photos on the website - I wish we could get such good detail pics on all the vehicles we build - thanks

Can I builgd my my AFV Sd. Kfz. 11 and pretend it's a FAMO?

Yeah, maybe in 1/48 scale #:-)

I will OF COURSE be sending photos of my own model...I have to wait until after Christmas to do so.....My wife promises me a digital camera......LOL....LOL
Any reference material needed, send an e-mail via this forum and i will happily oblige you...

It's final, I will be building one FAMO towing an 88.... Will start on the 88 very soon....

I'm still pluggin away on my chassis. Paiting road wheels really sap my motivation. Just need to weather them and I can move on to to more "fun" things .... like filling the bed with Misc. junk.
Just FYI, the Verlinden "German Military Cargo" kit is awsome for this task. I got it earlier this week and it was just what I was looking for. A bunch of boxes, crates, tins, a complete engine and one that has been taken apart. For $14 USD it was a pretty good deal in my mind.

I built this beauty once.Had it all the way to dullcoating.Then,my wife kicked me out and the Famo went into the garbage Don't have the heart to build another.It has too many memories to build another.Not only that but,I am going downsizing my German arsenal and trading most of it away.Oh,well,she was a beautiful build and makes the hobby fun when you build it.

Bummer (and that's an undertstaement)
You could join us in this build if you like....
