Thanks folks, glad you like it.

The name.  A while ago I bought an AMT Ed "Big Daddy" Roth decal sheet which has a heap of Rat Finks on it and some other of Ed's works of art. I promptly put it in a tin and forgot I had it.
I came across it while looking for flames and other appropriate Hot Rod transfers, saw that there were a couple saying "Fink Tank" and realised I had the name of Hans' Rod Tank.
Ed Roth did serve in the USAF but was never posted to Germany.

I have had the idea for a halftrack motorcycle rattling about in my head for a while now.  I even have a sketch.
Chevenkrad by Fred Maillardet, on Flickr
Chevenkrad will be built in 1/24 and powered by a Chevy stovebolt engine.  Tracks from 1/48 or 1/35 armour.  Scratchuilt front end.  Only one seat though.

'Chevenkrad' . I LOVE it!   :wub:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

Guess i'd better build one then.  Mind you, it's only been bouncing round inside my head for 16 years...

So, somewhere between 9 & 14 years left to fully mature, then. ;)

This is very cool mate 👍 😀
As for your tracks 35th scale would balance out size wise with 24th..48th will be to small I reckon...we'll have to wait and see  :wacko:

Oh that might be pretty good..big road wheels and wide tracks..I do know that 35th scale T-34 wheels are quite big in 35th and pretty damn close to a 25th scale cars wheels..so yeah 48 should turn out quite nicely 😀
