Greg Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Can he providence it as original Afrika Korps or ist is merely painted and mocked up and really something used in Bavaria by the German Bread Baking Korps? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Greg,I think it's from the 80's but it certainly raised a few eyebrows, especially when he reved up the engine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david f Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 wheres the mg34 from the sidecar?? Looks good Kenny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Not to be super picky, because I know how hard it can be to find proper parts, but the ammo can attached to the sidecar cab is a post-WWII 50 Cal US Army ammo box. Probably post Vietnam era and not a proper German Army WWII box (these can be found with just a little more searching and work put into it).The MG34 would be neat but I suppose Strathclude Police would just love to see that on King St :-p They did not always have such items... incidentally I know of an authentic 100% providenced Afrika Korps Falschirmjager (Paratrooper) Kettenkrad fully restored and working in Germany. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUKA STEVE Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Yes the ammo can is US,chap just added it for bit extra equipment,and it clearly says US on it.You could prob argue that little of it is period but its a nice piece and i enjoyed going for a spin in it! The chap who owns it also said it was an on going project.Remember much of what you see in museums regarding vehicles is not period,this used to annoy me but now im realistic about budgets etc that museums face and difficulty getting period pieces intact or sourcing parts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
