Tony B Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The litle Komet was apparently known a sthe 'Blond Bombshell' as it used Hydrogen Peroxide , as per hair bleaching to fuel it. Downside was contact with the fuel could melt you. :-D Great picture shows how small it really was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 It's a Scheuch-Schlepper, designed by Rudolf and Eugen Scheuch initially as an agricultural tractor, then as a more conventional four-wheel design, used as a bomb-cart tractor ('Bombentransporter'). Here's a better view of the beastie. Heller's lovely little 1/72nd model comes with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morris c8 fat Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Also comes with a third wheel to fit the rear for towing other aircraft the track unit also had a wheeled version that used large inflatable bags to support the lower wings. Odd there isnt more about this little truck Just noticed if you go to the link on the last post it shows the inflatable one Edited August 25, 2013 by morris c8 fat add on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gradez Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 As far as I know it was powered by a "KdF" (Volkswagen-) engine. There is one surviving example in the famous Grundmann Collection in Hessisch Oldendorf, Germany. Regards Gradez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
