An interesting idea. Could this include that half finished build or the one that the cat knocked off the shelf?

Toying with the idea of a Sd.Kfz.254 (see below) converted for use by explorers/adventurers in a similar manner to the halftracks used by the Yellow Expedition

Does anyone remember this idea: Converted Ballistic Missiles Could Launch Aid to Disaster Zones

I am thinking a build showing an ICBM with Red Cross markings...

Lest we forget, there was a topic created quite some time ago specifically titled "Swords Into Ploughshares" that might also provide some inspiration to this GB.

That a great whiff and story!

Neat ! Alvis' models are always great ideas.

I'm surprised the West didn't have similar high-school cadet training devices like the Russians did with their one-quarter scale tanks.
