| Nice photo Rick. It must have been captured for quite some time. All markings have been painted over,unusually no new german markings are visible. The mountings on the side of the vehicle are for the Wurfrahmen 40 rocket system which was made up of a mix of 28cm HE and 32cm incendiary rounds. They were usually fitted to 251 halftracks and captured french tracked vehicles. I like the deflated tyre as well. There were some complaints about the DML kit tyres being moulded with a flat spot as apparently normal maintenance required them to be inflated to a point where they did'nt bulge. |
