Back in Overloon it's time for the German WW2 kit to take centre stage.
Starting with this rather nice Hetzer
I believe this is a Peugeot 202 'liberated' by the Wehrmacht
Nebelwerfer (who nicked the wheels?) and 105mm howitzer
5cm PAK 38...
...with a rather lovely Sdkfz10 to tow it
There had to be an '88' somewhere
A rare Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper - that's an SWS to you and me
Very tidy Panther
Horse-drawn field kitcken
A HUGE model of the Gustav rail gun

Wonderful pics. The Hetzer and Panther look superb. I did see a Hetzer in Belgium once and was amazed at how small it was. Having also seen the escape hatches on a Churchill, I suspect that these vehicles were designed for smaller blokes with limited rations. I see the modern generation having some issues getting in and out.
Also...did you nick the Nebelwerfer wheels for a 'project'?

I refer you to my post on the APCs at Shrivenham. We managed to get I think five in the BMP instead of a 7-man Motor Rifle squad and it took us about 20 minutes to disembark!

I like that Hetzer

I saw it first.
I am sure two would fit in snug as a crew
Whether I could get out is another matter
Nice pix and commentary Tim. I'm just glad I didn't have to crawl in any of those things. Although that half track artillery tractor would have been useful schlepping my daughter off to grad school today!
I know you've got the wheels. What I want to know is did you nick the mini sub for your bath?
Cheers, Peter
Great to see a SWS in the flesh.
For Hetzer fans in the UK, there is a very nice example at Duxford.

A vehicle even more suitable for making childrens belongs to university will feature in a post soon!
I really don’t have the wheels. There was no room in the rucksack after I lifted the sub....

The SWS is most impressive. And all these years we though Roco had just made it up!
