Nice work there!

What *haven't* Land Rovers been used as the base for?!

Apart from the wheels being wrong that is bloody impressive work.
The profile looks extremely good..the turret is very nice but that interior is amazing.
Full marks mate...in fact all the marks..damn that's good 👍 👌 😄

Yeah, but throw some wheel covers of the correct look on and you'd never know.

Didn't the real ones have four wheel steering?
Does this?

[killnoizer]

In fact they have 4 wheel steering , but this one not , it is based on a standard Land Rover Frame, but the engine is mounted in the back like the original unit .   Transmission is automatic switched for easy performance .

In my opinion 4 wheel steering is complete useless and just one more problem to care about . 
Typical German over engineering of the 3. Reich .  My Grandfather was technical constructor in the Wehrmacht , we talked a lot about that when I started restoring cars in the 80's .

That is superb engineering work. The first proper armour kit I built was the Tamiya Sdkfz.222. I always think of these as 'Lt Grubers little tank'

Same, and agree!
