lcm1947 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Sorry Bogdan but I have to second Zimorodok's post. Let us know when you get finished with it though won't you? This should be great. Something a little different and accurate to boot. Cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually what you've discovered is a photo of a late war corduroy Sdkfz 251. These were built when war material ran short, and fabric was substituted for armour plate. A little known fact, but true I swear. Actually this was the only way the Wehrmacht was able to get the Maus rolling under its own power. Massive armour plate was replaced with a similar thickness of corduroy with remarkable improvements in weight and related wear and tear. Sadly none of the corduroy AFVs lasted long in their conquerors' tank parks. The fabric retained moisture, hastening the corrosion of the supporting steel framework. The fabric itself simply rotted within a few seasons when left exposed to the elements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Nah, that thing is just a late war 251 when they were making them out of clay due to metal shortages. The streaks are made with a leaf rake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
