Not really, I've had enough fun in her already! Featured in 2011's Operation Jedburgh as well :wink:

Cray low price to start of with though...

It's up for sale on Milweb too for £5,800

Nice vehicle, very practical for WW2 airsoft.

It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."

Am I the only one sad to think that she survived the war and then another 65 years on top of that - only to then be butchered into something that she's not? :cry:

I mean, I doesn't even look similar to any German troop carrier apart from some form of crazy trackless 8ton'er, especially when she used to look exactly like a wartime dated Dodge 4ton'er, which is what she was for 65 years...

Exactly what I was thinking. :-( Pete, if you get it for a song, I'm sure we can convert it back again :-)

I'm inclined to agree as well. For use as German it only needed a paint job as its probably all they would have done.

It does seem a very odd thing to do.

It was something and now it is nothing in particular.

I have a small skewer hidden in the collar of my jumping jacket, and a razorblade in my gaiter, as well as my knife.

Well said. Nice phraseology, Charlie.

Made a few more bids but as expected it's gone beyond my current cash reserve :(

It's not unusual for the Germans to engage in some modification of captured vehicles. The is a book that details captured British soft skins in German hands and a few feature similar remodelling. Not many but some.

£2,750 with 3 hours to go, still a bargain I reckon.
