Citroen Hot Food Van

[Matakakea]

Code: [Select]


[codeUpon reflection you should probably aim for a name with one of those mind-bendingly awkward German compound nouns that wraps itself all the way around the van and requires a team of lexicographers to adequately decipher and explain.

Okay. I had to put that through the translator app. I think you nearly choked it

Linguistics aside, nice truck...

But how about Toten von Wurst?

John Kennedy's Donut Wagon? (Ich bin ein Berliner/pfannkuchen) 

Der Pfannkuchenpanzer.

Don't forget that the humble kebab is one of Germany's favourite fast foods, due in large part to the large Turkish population.

How about Doner und Blitzen?

Der Wurstwagen would be an easier fit.  Or Wienermobilewagen if you're up for more lettering.

Wolfgang’s Bratty Wagon, legend of the Cold War….

Wolfgang allegedly had better tabs on where the British army was at any given time than the GRU.

I spent a bit of time looking for a diecast version of that van, without much luck. Would make a great scenario objective.

One of these might work for 28mm, I would think.  Mind you, a repaint would be in order...

Mercedes "Düsseldorfer Transporter", "Düdo", "T2". There is a OOP die cast in 1/50th scale by Cursor available every now and then https://www.ebay.de/itm/363178103361

Mine is still on the road everyday...

[carlos marighela]

Many thanks Michi.

What's the flashing amber light on yours for, may I ask?

What's the flashing amber light on yours for, may I ask?

It was an ambulance with a blue beacon. I had to replace the glass and de-install the sirens for private use. Amber beacons are allowed for safety when necessary.

[carlos marighela]

Cool. I've been thinking about getting an amber light for when my wife finally passes her driving test. Only fair to other road users.

Make way please, Emergency Wienermobilewagen coming through!
