Scratch built a German full track APC from an old 38t panzer.
I've seen pics of a very similar design but it was sitting on a shortened Panther chassis.
This is a clean build and a nice use of the 38T chassis..I like it 👌 👍 😀
Thank you!
A Katzchen - nice work on that! :thumbsup:
Phill, IIRC there were 2 designs (as usual for the Waffenamt) - one -38(d) based and t'other Panther/E-series based.
Still have plans (and A Plan) to do one someday, but time/energy/available bits... y'know, the usual story. :-\

Ahhh yeah I remember the 38T version now..ive seen a side profile of it .
Oh by the way I'm sure I can scrape up enough 38T parts for ya ..ive got a couple which are destined for parts :thumbsup:
BT (buzzbomb) did a version of the Katzchen some years ago but I can't find it to link to anywhere. :-\
This is a nice clean build! The 38t is a good base for all sorts of mods.
Guy, Brian posted pictures of his Katzchen in my build: https://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=8057.msg143986#msg143986

That looks pretty cool :)
Nice work from Brian, too. :thumbsup:
Phill, I will keep that in mind, thank you!
I just have to decide whether it's a Must Have, or a just a Cool Li'l Thing... ;)
And if it is something I want, whether I have the time and energy... :rolleyes:
