24 possible variants now...   :o
Really can't cope with doing all of them...  But it is tempting! lol
A few have very dubious provenance: 20mm flak, command version and the one below "mit stuka zu Fuss" and possibly never existed.  Others are just plain ridiculous like the 17pdr version but they did at least build one of them!

Looks cool

Seems to be the normal German approach of take a hull and take a gun and join them together. The only thing that seems to have varied is scale, was it a lash-up at a unit workshop or was it a proper factory conversion.

But it does seem you can pretty much take any pair and mate them up!

Free French built with MG151 autocannon.  Allegedly saw action in the liberation of France and all were lost.

The family so far

The free French version just failed for some reason so I'll have to try again.

Beautiful collection. :-*
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

You now need to come up with a term to express what a group of Schleppers all together are called!
