Krupp Truck with Helmeted SS driver looking right and towable Pak 36 cannon--includes ammunition crates--driver wearing green painted helmet
This version features a driver wearing a helmet rather than the soft cap our 'A' version previously described wears and also a different registration plate fitted to the vehicle. As an added bonus you can purchase this version with a Pak 36 cannon for those of you who want a fuller looking diorama piece. This is a new casting and has been adapted so it can be towed by our Krupp truck. The old Pak 36 was not suitable due to the protective shield at the bottom of the artillery dragging along the ground. We have, therefore, removed this. The cannon can still be used in fighting mode, if desired, when uncoupled from the truck.
For those of you wondering why the artillery piece is not the same as the truck, well we figured there was a war going on, the chances of the crew being issued the truck and cannon at the same time and then painting them in the exact same shade of paint would be pretty remote (not impossible but remote at this stage of the war), hence the different three tone shades.
Limited to 45 in number.
Note from Thomas Gunn:
Dear All,
Due to the factory applying the wrong labels to the samples posted to us here in UK, our original Krupp truck photos were incorrect. Normally we would swap the box lids round and nobody would be any the wiser, unfortunately, in this case we have 65 x A samples and 45 of each B & C sample, so this time its not possible.
In short the only difference is the driver headdress.
B version with driver wearing green painted helmet.
Released in OCTOBER 2022.
RETIRED.
LAST THREE!!
