This is a scratch-built plastic model, approximately 1/16 scale depicting a fictional german light transport vehicle used in WWII. This small truck would be used to tow light artillery (anti-tank guns) or utility trailers with ammunition or other supplies. This vehicle is fitted with anchor points which will allow the truck to be dropped by parachute along with a team of paratroops. It is designed for all-terrain use and is amphibious.
This is a general view of the vehicle and diorama. The grass is a commercially available material found at most hobby shops. The window washer pattern was done using painted on matte varnish. The glass is clear acetate.
The container on the side of the truck is a dental floss dispensor. The driver is a reworked 3 3/4 inch GI Joe figure.The tools on the side are scratch built.
The vehicle was built primarily of sheet styrene and various spare model parts. The wheels are wooden toy wheels from a craft store. The cargo cage on top of the truck is made from soldered copper wire.
