I was wondering what this is that the trailer is hauling or transporting. I think I seen a model of this in my travels around the internet. It would be a good dio peice. There are alot of German MBT's in dio's with them. I would think this would be a nice change in pace for me and for a dio's to do something different than a MBT.

Its a TPZ1 fuchs (fox) made by Revell ( in both 1:35 and 1:72) in 2 versions ( troop carrier and NBC recce vehicle). You don't see many of the kits about nowadays. Both the British and US armies (amongst others) use these machines.

Pete is absolutly right. The Fuchs is a nice armoured "bus", used both in Kosovo and Afghanistan (among other bad places)
