From the same team that saved StuGIV, after mere year of work, this fantastic vehicle is now completely rebuilt. You just cant believe it if you see what pile of rusty rubble it once was...

Only one of them is fully restored in Auto + Technik Museum, Sinsheim in Germany. the other three, in various stages of completeness are: -almost complete, in private collection, in Düsseldorf, in Germany; -that one shown on pictur...

I believe there is only a handful of them around the world (5). The same team that restored Stug is now focusing on sdkfz 6. Sometimes, if you search the nearest mud pit, you may find something interesting. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sMw5ghd9e_Q/Tj3TyMPsWNI/AAAAAAAACto/fvJpzCtVL3I/s720/mbp_0...
