Got Tamiya's DW at home for a future project, and I had a couple ideas on what to do with the DW. Did the Soviets ever have any of these in their possesion and use? Had an idea of Russians getting Germans to clean up a wrecked section of a Russian town, and in the cleanup, having the Germans load up a shot up Panther or something....
Anyone know?
thanks

nothing stopping you using a Famo as a captured vehicle seen some pics of the british Army using a Famo in Nth Africa before it was sent back to the UK for trials ....BTW they were that imperssed with it's performance they even considered copying it but it was stopped as they didnt want to be seen given german stuff the thumbs up

I like Mikeli's idea, seeing captured vehicles is always cool.
But, I personally have never heard of the russians using a dragon wagon, here, this link might help you out:

The Dragon Wagon was not developed till after the US was involved in the war, so they were not given to the Soviets under lend-lease. However I do believe there were a bunch of diamond t's given to them.
