Zeithain / PTS-M amphibious carrier

[abn deuce]

A very large track amphibious carrier , note the hinged ramp at the rear in the first clip and its scale . I have no idea of its weight carrying or other stat's just that its BIG.

 

 

In this clip when it turns you can see the twin propellors

 

Take the whole neighbourhood along for the ride .
