Looks like a Daimler-Benz type 10 like the one in the Dirty Dozen. (Sd.Kfz.8) -- Last edit: 2008-06-10 22:54:58 |

Sorry, chaps, the 18 ton is bigger than these vehicles. The main and first small picture shows a Daimler-Benz DB 10, s.Zgkw. 12t, Sd.Kfz.8 (1939-44). The second small picture show the Krauss-Maffei KM m 11, m.Zgkw. 8t, Sd.Kfz.7 (1937-44). The 18t FAMO is even bigger and -- good for identification -- comes with either one, two or four rows of seats, never three as in the main picture. There is a good 1:35 model by Tamiya: I'd love to see another one of these in a film ... so, please, keep your eyes open for me! |

Please change name: "Sd.Kfz.8" should be put as extra info, as it's the internal army designation. |
