I have had this kicking around for around 9 months or so, and after a visit to the dentist today I decided to do something simple so I painted it up.
I need it for my Cold War British Battalion's Anti Tank Platoon, something to tow the WOMBAT. I have scratchbuilt a WOMBAT for the ORBAT and could not be naffed throwing another Land Rover into the mix.
In doing a little research this morning I came across a British Unimog 404S towing a WOMBAT in Berlin in the 1970's, so that was that.
ROCO Mini Tanks 404S, with simple paint job.
I like it, perhaps it is because of the basic-ness of it.
Model on!
The Unimog is one of my favourite trucks ever......

Very cool Paul. If simple works then it has to be good.
ReplyDeleteGood model, look forward to seeing the WOMBAT, and crew
ReplyDeleteGood work, Paul - I am thinking about going down the 70's/80's route for a project I have in mind...
ReplyDeleteHi Fran, yep over 60 years old and still going!
ReplyDeleteCheers Erhntly. Yes this was well exported and this model remained in production from 1955 until 1980.
