Wink Re: Your thoughts on this, gentlemen?




Roger Paul, I have.....

S307(f) (PaK40) anti-tank half-track or 7.5cm Pak40 (sf) auf mSPW S307(f)

The standard 7.5cm PaK40 anit-tank gun mounted in an open-topped armoured body on a Somua MCG5

Weight - 8 tons estimated
Speed - 20mph/31km/h
Engine - Somua 80 hp
Armament - 7.5 PaK40 and an MG 42 anti-aircraft gun
Armour 1/2"/13mm (approximate)

Somua McG5 half-tracks were the 1940 standard French heavy Artillery tractor. Then Baustab Becker (Construction Staff becker) got ahold of them and made many (over 1800?) fighting vehicles and tanks that went back into german service.
And as you might have guessed, the 21st Panzerdivision got a lot of these babies.

Cheers, I have a small model pic example ( mine from FoW are still waiting to be shipped to me, at the moment) I will try to get up here, but if anyone has any other pics of these beauties, please post them here, I hav'nt found any others besides the one I posted here for "the real machine" yet.
