Hi. smokinprice
you could also try Museum Ordnance Special #24 by thomas Jentz. covers the family gives you unit allocation from 1943 but has only the usual pics in it,
sorry[BH][BH][BH]
Happy Modelling.

I know I cant resist! But I`ll have to sell something on ebay first! I cant dip into the stash yet til I get my blazer fixed and the carpet paid fro and then i have to put ball joints on my truck after that, maybe if the date were extended to…
Stipp,
You are killing us. We extended it to May of next year for ya. Dont feel bad, I couldnt resist either. This is such a great group build. Besides, if you wait to have the money, then you will never have it. Also, my wife is already mad at me so I cant be the only one out here getting yelled at for spending, spending, spending!!!

Yeah, I figured as much, I`ve got three of them! just wish theyed do a better job on the moulds, poor quality. i have been told that this build is for 234s only, so I gotta sell some thing to get one!
is the Maultier the rocket halftrack? Or am I thinking of the wrong thing… I have an Italeri rocket halftrack (rocket launcher on back)
its extended to my 16th Birthday [:)]
eBay is a great place to sell models. Need a little money, get rid of a model you’re not going to build, I’m selling a M8 now.
edit: I realize my sig said Tamiya, I dont know what I was thinking
Found the 234/4 smokin:

How much do you want it? I’m considering bidding on it as well. But since I already have one, and if you want it a lot, I wont bid
Scer16, Nah, the Maultier is based on the opel blitz 21/2 ton truck, now the later maultier is based on the chassis of the blitz so you are partially correct in a sense, but it could also be that any vehicle that was turned into a halftrack.
Now if I can just get the wife to come off some duckies so i can play!
I could try to sell that maulier I built for the halftrack GB!, Anyone would like to buy it?
Thats a wonderful build stipp. How much? My parents probably wouldnt let me buy it anyways though.
Update: I tried to make a badge, here is what I got, not resized or anything though. What do you guys think?
Looks the right size of the other GB badges
Yeah, it was fun to build, it was more of an experiment with the mud and it turned out great! I dunno about how much, I`d probably start off with a 20.00 and then put up a buy it now for 50.00 or 75.00? considering all of the materials and man hours it took.
Its really weird, my Italeri box (the rocket halftrack) says “Panzerwerfer 42 auf Maultier”
[?][?]
I guess thats why I thought it was the same thing.
Ive been looking for that halftrack for quite awhile, so I reckon theyre still around, thats the later version of a maultier.
so what do i have to do to be in the GB i have an italeri sdkfz 234/1
nothing Sgtkoop! Say your in and your in. It’s that easy [:D]
The pictures in your other post aren’t showing up. It says “thumbnail can not be generated” or something like that. I’d like to see it though.
234 Engine update. Thanks to Smokinprice I now have a good idea “where” the engine goes in the 234. I already had good pics of the Tatra 103 12cyl engine. Now I know the relative size, direction, and placement. It’ll be about the size of a quarter in 1/72. Thanks for the warning Panzermann but I’m a hopeless “the kit is just not good enough as it is” builder. [B)][:o)]
You’re added sgt kopp for a 234/1
Hey Stipp,
