Polish TKS tankette

Has anyone got a good clear photo of the rear of one of these, or a plan drawing?

I'm trying to get a better idea of the exhaust position.

cheers,

 

Here: You can order a set of 1/35th ones for $2.00

Ahhh! Now theres a fighting vehicle!

Who knows WHAT the Poles may have accomplished in 1939 with a couple of MILLION of these babys!

 

Sadly, this is only a side view:

TK-S

However, the website is pretty interesting.

 

It's intersting because the exhaust piece I got didn't either look like it does in pictures nor did it fit in that place, so I've gone for a bit of a kit bash... I don't think anyone will notice as the piece which grabs the imagination is the 20mm gun I've fitted, which they had on a variant.

There's some great vids of this vehicle on youtube;

My Pleasure! Lmaooooo Probably couldn't get your Groceries inside. You sure would grab everybody's attention

 

That's the second most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

 

At least you could get a parking space.....unless someone showed up in a Panzer II !

 

Parking Space and moving through traffic! it's sweet looking thats for sure, But a rattler The vibrations will loosen your dentures.

 

A captured TKS by the germans.



A photo of the back of a TKS?

 

That bottom one looks more like a Belgium T15 to me.

I'd dispute the grocery capacity until I was blue in the face... okay so I'd have to go shopping daily but hey ho what a small price to pay eh? Shame there's only three of them around.

There was a story in the Daily Mail last year of a chap who used a kettenkrad for going shopping. The lorry driver who likes to unwind by taking his German World War II tank for a spin | Mail Online

Go on then, what's the first?

 

As Long as it gets you from point A to point B and it has the capacity that you can fit A Cold Case of 24 Beer GBB'sYOYO! Nice picture I had a good laugh hell you can fit more the 7 Grocery bags.

He must get so much attention with that little bad boy, Low Rider~~~~~~~~~X

 

You just linked it in the picture...

 

That is.... WTF !

 

Ahhh, the Kettenkrad. Seriously, some company should make a modern version. I'm sure they could sell 10,000 around the world!

 

Stuntkrad?

 

Indeed I would directly buy one these things are just to beautiful.
