Saw this over on Internet modeler. Never heard of it but has definite Whiff possibilities.

Stick the Porche car logo on the nose, and paint and detail it like a 911! Chrome rims, exhaust pipes, bright colours, and a spoiler.

Probably wouldn't want it to be a convertable, though...

Ordered. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, and watch out for them on the autobahn. When one of them comes up behind you flashing his lights, you'd better move over quick.

This was a real proposal. It was designed in 1943 and was supposed to be able to be used against both land and air targets. Some interesting stats:

Speed - designed to be able to hit 65km/hr
Main Armament - 55mm fully automatic cannon with 350 rounds carried in metal belts.

I have some drawings and original model pics if anyone is interested.

Greg

I'll second Philip's request. Just when I think I've heard of everything...I have to wonder if the gun had
the capacity to select rounds-it was originally intended as an aircraft gun, no?

That thing would look a home on a WWI battlefield or a Warhammer 40k table (but probably with a bigger gun).

Ever since I first saw it, I've had a plan for a diorama with a WW1 style battle field, with WWII bunkers and two of these knocked out with several Daleks trundling past. A post Genesis of the Daleks dio, the newly emerging Daleks exterminating the last of the Thals.
