Gorgeous weathering on that Rhino! Looks like it just rolled out of a news real!

Hehe, I love the tank conversion as well. What do you use it for? Or should I say as?

Excellent painting and welcome aboard! Where abouts from Switzerland are you?

I love that tankette, but what would its purpose be? Surely not just for launching smoke screen?

welcome Tom.
Great painting - love the terminator.
As Bako said - what do you use the tankette for/as? Is that a smoke mortar out front?

Welcome! I saw your Tankette and Terminator on Frothers but I hadn't seen that Rhino yet, it's stunning!  :-*

Thanks again, everybody.

The tankette is a conversion of the 1:72 Emhar kit of the German A7V WW1 tank.

Just did this because I like the A7V tank, but wanted it to look different after having building a number of them in camouflage.

Just added bits from the bits box, I guess you are right, the main weapon is a smoke screen mortar.

I didn't plan it to be used in a game (and it might not be useful as the original tankettes were not useful)  :)

But I guess it would work in any near future city fight scenario.

Perhaps just a piece of mobile cover for those urban battles then? ;)
