At long last! I have the Cromwell late FAMO conversion but this didn't include the necessary late roadwheels.

Great news, I just wish people would stop calling it a FAMO.

Like calling a Mercedes not a Mercedes:-) LINK

Hey, Bill, don't get pedantic or people will get mad at you like they do me. I know what you're saying, though.

Harald, the difference is that Mercedes builds all its own cars. FAMO (Fahrzeug- und Motorenbau GmbH in Breslau) developed the concept at the request of the Waffenamt, but several firms built them as well, including Tatra and Vomag. Shell, I hear ya. But I can't not try to correct misconceptions.

The 'Famo' name has been put to those Sd.Kfz.9 for ages -- so everyone knows what it is ,this firm is making & selling

Looks like a neat late model conversion , for a great kit . Thats still a pukka kit , all these years later

Could care less as to what you call them, no one would call one a "Tatra" or "Vomag" just like all ME-109s weren't made in Augsburg but you still called them collectively as "Messerschmitt". Same thing here. Either way, I like what I'm seeing insofar as the offering (not the name argument) and want to check out their site to see what else they might offer. I always figured that Tamiya dropped the ball on this kit: they spent a fortune developing it and then left it to the aftermarket and cottage industry to offer alternate versions. Plain foolish on their part.
