I've seen this vehicle for the first time in a book that was released before Germany got reunited for the 10th time. There was a Patronenwagen (Ammunition carrier) for the Infantry and the Cavalry. The 'Hauptpark' of the army had more than 80 such vehicles, which must've made them a very common sight.
I personally love the Trittbretter as well as the nice texture of the side-parts.
The wheels are Bavarian from my knowledge since our own Saxon wheels will only turn up on tuesday! :--)

AntwortenLöschenOriginal and very nice, I like it!
AntwortenLöschenThat's a good looking miniature. 80 of them would've taken up some space on a road.
AntwortenLöschenThanks guys, I know it's not as spectacular as a set of new Uhlans, but this is the back-bone of an armies train.
AntwortenLöschenGotta love those Bavarian wheels!
AntwortenLöschenYou gotta see them soon with the other manufacturer.
LöschenWhat a wonderful model. It would look marvellous on any wargames table!
AntwortenLöschenWonderfull wagon! In what period was this in use? 1806? 1815?

Thank you gents. THis was a model that held the ammo for both the infantry and the 4pdr regimental guns.
AntwortenLöschenI have to check twice, but I believe it was in use since the 7yw.
