I like the idea of wartime APC's other than half tracks

[NARSES2]

They are really nice

good 8x8 apc -- just like the ones GTX (whoops, apologies) Rickshaw drew on this site not so long ago (see "Remember Eureka in the Alt. History).
suspect that modeller is lurking here somewhere -- who is it ?

Here's my drawing of the low-profile version on the Puma chassis that I posted

Wasn't GTX, it was me.   

I'm wondering what all the extra grills on top of the pictured wheeled APC are for?  The Hummel/Nashorn version is interesting.  Again, the grill in the middle of the hull roof is a bit mysterious.  I'd have put a Sdkfz 222 low profile turret on it.  Its a good way of using excess AFV manufacturing capacity.  The Panzer III/IV hull used for the Hummel/Nashorn was designed for that (it utilised a lot of excess Panzer III components which had been left over after that vehicle ceased production).   The big, open rear fighting compartment lends itself to being used in that way.

Those 2 whiffs are outstanding!

I figured that, considering the "Remember Eureka" thread, y'all would enjoy these.
how about a few more then:

Those are nice.  I like the one with the Kugelblitz turret.

[rickshaw]

This one is interesting:



I like the hull modifications.  The sloping plates are well done (although they might have some difficulty servicing the transmission/brakes).  I don't think though, there is room in a Panzer IV turret for an 88mm KwK36.

Different!   I like the night vision gear that was coming online around the wars end, seems a natural for '46.
