That's a Skoda PA II Zelva ("Turtle") armored car, in use 1924-45.

It seems a Czech company produces a kit in 1/76th.

The post also has a potted history of the vehicle.

Excellent -- many thanks! Now if only someone would model this for 28mm miniatures!

Thanks for sharing that photo. That really is something else and looks like the epitome of 'modern' 1930s design.

If you want something typically Austrian then there are 1/72 kits of the ADGZ out there as well. Nothing in 1/48 or 1/56 alas.

That is one crazy looking armored car!

if anyone could take a photo of the model in comparison with an 25-28mm figure, could be helpful.
sometimes even 1/76 are good for our pulp games!

It looks like a cross between a Daimler and a Dalek!

Sure it is! Start with a VW Beetle and add LOTS of Miliput!

Or large 'blister' type packaging and some hot water...

A 1/6 scale German (or Austrian) WW1 helmet, and some wheels?

I'm sure this was the inspiration for the universal jelly mould....
