Kubelwagen, SWS and Others

Roco Tiger II, HO scale, this kit is probably 50 years old.  Roco kept them in production for decades.
Slightly different view, I have a lot of these and have formed most of them into battalions.  Three are 4 in a platoon, 14 in a company, and 45 in a battalion.  Of course, late war finding a whole battalion together in one spot was pretty rare.
This was an experimental vehicle and no more than 5 vehicles have ever been claimed for production, with other sources claiming three, and most sources saying none were every completed.  I opted to have one in my late war German army as that seemed reasonable.
German infantry man a roadblock.  I like to have as many different vehicles in my collection as possible, but when it comes to experimental vehicles I prefer to limit the numbers to no more than a platoon of 5, 4, or 3 depending on the type of vehicle.
Another Roco Minitank, this time a Kubelwagen.  This particular model I got used and was pretty beat up.  I fixed several problems and now it soldiers on.  Infantry from Caesar Miniatures.

  1. I like your Kübelwagen. I think I have one in the Minitanksseries as well. I would like to make one in 1:19th scale as a wagon load for my Heeresfeldbahn Garden Railway.
