Quote from: kerick on April 15, 2024, 09:35:49 PMVery unique! It needs front and rear axle steering.

Ken those are WW2 German Sd.Kfz.231 8 rad wheels and suspension units which means this beast will have 6 wheel steering as the 8 rad was a 8x8 with steering on all axles 

So if you turned all the wheels in one direction it could go sideways. Very handy in a cross wind!

Just a thought. How about some form of canopy on top to allow the passengers to view the beautiful landscape going by? The Amtrak passenger trains here call it the Vista Cruiser.

The way Herr Noizer has the axles mounted you can have the center axle non steering and the front and rear as steering axles or with hydraulics instead of mechanical steering like the original vehicle you can have steering on all of the axles so you can crab steer 

You could use decal windows, 1/144 scale airliner style.

Wheels and engine tryout today .

Looking more interesting every day!

Yeah this very cool 😎 😀 😀

Think "Bendy Bus".

You'd just need to find some corrugated tube the same diameter as the fuselage.

Beat me to it.

Even without bendy bits it still looks awesome.
Is it going to be armed?  Maybe there are Tank Pirates out there in the wastelands?

I can visualise a number of these parked up in a circle for safety like a wagon train.

That was a interesting job to fix that six wheels in a straight line . I wanna keep the build clean as it is , this time

That jet engine will be a real screamer! I'd love to see that zooming across the tundra!

It is engined for speed and the tyres look like they are meant for dirt.

I'm wondering what kind of a road or track it runs on. Not too bumpy, for the speed, I'm thinking.

Just look at the map of siberia ... 

Siberia doesn't look all that smooth. Mountains, forests, rivers, wetland. And some of it has permafrost, or is at least covered with snow for long periods.

Herr Kilnoizer has not yet explained to us the after-market additions that he no doubt plans..........skis,  airstairs for boarding, crew and passengers and possibly even balloon tyres for summer marshland use

What's the status on this land missile?
