I shot one of those from an Archer. Actually did damage, with APDS, from the side.

Never Platoon with a tank 2 Tiers above you... :o

Maybe you can play Dr Frankenstein and take the tracks from the Unic and add them to the wz.34 to come up with a wz.28  :d :d:-

There's certainly the possibility there to do something, although the running gear on the Unic is slightly different.  The master of the wz.34 should survive the moulding process pretty well so we should be able to send it back and get it converted over to that wz.28.

That's OK. I never wanted to save any money anyway.

Lovely stuff.

Hi Leon

Yes you're right, maybe you could do a whole series of early Kegresse half tracks  :D :D:-



Of course I'd be happy with just the Schneider P16 M28:-



Or the P28:-



;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Cheers

What was the roller on the front for ?

You often see them on US half tracks, they were designed to help crossing obstacles, the tracks would push you up onto the roller, which, hopefully you would roll over until the tracks could clear it and the front wheels were over and it wouldn't then crush the front of the vehicle!!!

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Oh now that P28 is a rather nice, but quirky, bit of kit 8)

What was it Spike Milligan said about halftracks?
Something like: A vehicle designed for when your Italian allies drop their ice-creams?

That's a really big piece of polystyrene.

Polystyrene?

A fine example of "If it moves salute it, if it doesn't paint it white" if you ask me.

Which, to be fair, you didn't! :)

Do you think when it was designed, they said "wow! What an impressive bit of kit! Aesthetically perfect! What an intimidator! Our enemies will run home to change nappies when the see this rolling towards them!"?

Or was it more like "yeah. Good enough. On time and on budget. No, I wouldn't worry about the rivets."
