                        Tamiya`s sdkfz7 in a pre-war situation,hence the lack of personel and equipment,doing some cross country testing. The driver is looking back at the crowd of onlookers for any sign of approval on his maneauverings.

                        Thanks for the comments guys,Skar,the figure is a mish-mash of parts from the spare parts box,sorry can`t help with any specific figure. Tamiya dosen`t make any workable tracks for any of their older halft kits that I`m aware of,perhaps in their newer kits maybe Von. All that is Dru is real mud mixed with a little white glue and painted on and left to dry,how simple can it be! Driver`s a real cornball isn`t he?? Woulda been cool to throw the kitchen sink on this one,vrooooommmmm!!
