This last installment of the day is a start with the Transport vehicles. Mercedes Benz L3750 with trailer, Mercedes Benz L4500 Van to Kuchewagen conversion, two each Hanomag 4 tonners, and a Mercedes Benz post '38 L5000 and trailer. That's all for today, I'll have more to post tomorrow. Please enjoy and feel free to comment. As stated earlier if there are any requests to see any of these models more closely I will be glad to post them in a separate thread. Thanks for your interest. Rick H.P1011152.JPG

wow Rick some collection buddy.
I'd like to see a close up of the tarp on the open truck with the barrels in the back, and also that very long medical wagon please.
A lot of time and effort gone into producing these superb models, well done.:thumb2: X 10:nerd:

Next up is a series of Closed and Open trailers that I built mostly from Photographs I had seen on a certain Historical website. and the Large "Creature" down at the end was built using a "Concept" drawing I found posted on that same web site. It is based on a 1936 Mercedes Benz tractor with a large wood sided moving van. Quite a Beast and pure fantasy, as no documentary photos have been located at present. Rick H.P1011155.JPG

That's it for now, I'll start the armour posts later on. As I have said earlier, if there are any of these you would like to see posted in more detail, I will be glad to do that. Thank you for your continued interest. Rick H.
