...and beside the Panther hull there is an early Pz III/StuG III chassis without the upper part of the crew compartment (+turret/gun) ?? Really interesting pictures of this well known but more or less "unpictured" collection collection. Jens

This one? Well, the raised idler and the exhaust on the rear plate point to an Ausf. B hull.

The PzKpfw IV hull (upper right in the photo) seems to have come from a gun tank, as it still has the MG Kugelblende on the front plate.

I especially liked the Autocarretta OM.

You're right. I somehow missed the bogies. Corrected. Thanks. _________________ 1/72 and 1/76 scale fanatic.

Looks like a FAMO Sd.Kfz 9/2 with 10 ton Demag crane. Nice panther hull just to the left....... Anthony

Fascinating to see which rare beasts show up in this collection ... the Bergepanther hull seems to be in a relatively good and complete shape compared with the one of the Cadman brothers or the remains once in the Sinsheim pool. Also an formerly unknown Pz I, Pz II, Pz III and Pz IV hull/chassis and lots of other stuff... Jens

The Bergepanther hull is the one out of the Sinsheim Pool. Walter
