Put the tracks on a Type 87 4WD Kommandeurswagen.

The pose in that photo gives me a 'Cars' movie echo...
Maybe a WW2 version of Herbie, with eyes and a grin?
And a Monocle. Maybe a Cigarette holder...

And Luftwaffe reg numbers.  He could be Colonel Klunk

Yes! I like the way you think. 

Now it depends whether I want to try and source a 1/25 model (which will be an 'only child' in my collection), just for the one joke...

There is a resin conversion kit to convert the Tamiya 1/24th scale Bug into a split-window bug.
It's only $70.00

'Only'... yeah, no thanks.

With all the parts you have to replace, it would have been easier to have made a complete kit and saved you all the bother...

I was just thinking that.  What's left?  Engine, chassis and suspension, front bulkhead (what would be called a firewall normally), and the under bonnet area.

[Rick Lowe]

Bonnet and Tyres too. So yeah, not a lot.

While poking about on line I found these.

Type 166, the photos were taken during testing on Großglockner in Austria during June 1942.

This is interesting: Meng have started a range of 1/72nd scale armour, and it's reasonably priced, at least by modern standards:

https://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?scale_id=956&manufacturer_id=362486&sort=0&search_direction=desc&product_type_id=1899

Merkava Mk.IV
Bradley M2A3 BUSK
Abrams MIA2 TUSK
HIMARS
Leopard 2A7
ZTQ-15 (Chinese light tank)

All £13.99 

[Old Wombat]

The Abrams is showing out of stock but, if you backorder, it's only £11.69   

Not for me, though, I'll stick to 1/35, thanks!

[chrisonord]

I have the HIMARS in 72 nd scale, looks a nice little kit, and as Weaver says reasonably priced considering other options.

[NARSES2]

£13.99 is a easonable  price nowadays. Not my period though.

I've ordered the Merk. I'll do an in-box review when it arrives (be a bit silly doing it before, wouldn't it?)
