I think Dragon is releasing previous model kits with extra stuff again for Christmas. They try to increase the sales. I remember that Dragon had released new kits for 2-3 months like 10 years ago. I would buy sdkfz 10 if the price is a bit low. Dragon would release Sd.Kfz.7 8t halftrack with sFH18 15cm Howitzer (extra bonuses) I believe its great combo. Stop buying their kits like 8 year ago because their high prices and the other model companies have brought different subjects.

Photobucket?!?!?! Seriously? You must be joking? No offense but I thought we had all been through the PB shiite ... Prime Portal Bundesarchiv MilitaryImages.net / Robin

Robin Due to the large number of photos I have been hosting, literally for years on the Photobucket site, I have been paying a VERY SMALL, (very small, as in tiny) fee each month. This was originally to cover the overly large amount of bandwidth I use daily on their server. It appears now that I have therefore been grandfathered in and have been able to avoid (without interruption) all the many hassles and shut downs (and costs) that others have had to suffer through this past year. My motto: "Don't fix it, if it ain't broke!" _____________________________________ CORRECTION: In the second photo the Demag is towing the PAK38 rather than the larger PAK40. I took both these photos at various public reenactment events held at the Patton Museum, Ft. Knox, KY. (Back in the good ole days when the Armor School actually HAD an Armor Museum open to the public.)

Hi Michael, OK. But: The links in your post showed up as broken (i.e. not the one way road sign) and when I tried to deconstruct them and actually vist the PB-site I only got a white field with a lot of advertising around. I do not know if others managed to view the images .... / Robin Edit: It works now! Must have been a temporary glitch The second "PaK 40" does indeed look as if it has been through the "De Luxe Premium" program at Weightwatchers (TM)

In the past 24hrs the PB site has been up and down with technical difficulties. I assume that is the cause for these broken links. It seems to be working now. This is only the second time in these many years that I have experienced such a breakdown. However there have been a number of times when the site shuts down after 2am EST for maintenance.

Mike: I do not believe Robin was trying to insult you, just questioning the use of PB and its habit of killing links after X views. Please continue this thread in the way it was going as I was finding it interesting to read while having nothing to add personally.

Here is yet another one ton, this time towing a small AT rifle. This vehicle is owned by Bob Graebe out of the Chicago area and seen here at another Patton Museum reenactment event. I believe this is the same vehicle as seen in the last photo that Robin posted above, seen there towing a PAK40 during a military event formerly held at the Buckley Homestead Historic Farm; Lowell, IN.

This link has the official prescribed towing vehicles for various towed pieces: LINK Regards, Marc
