Hello and Good Morning. Yesterday night i was watching on discovery channel a very nice documentary on Germany's invasion over Czech and other countries in the beggining of the war . It was called "Nazi's a warning from Histori" and i saw there Hitler moving with a limousine car with 3 axes (6 wheeled) very nice looking (could have been Mercedes?) but i dont know what it is and if it exists in a kit in 1/35. So cause there always was an idea in the bck part of my mind about a dio, could you inform me what this luxurious 3 axe limo was and in what company's kits i should look to get it ? thanks a lot

There was an old toy one made many years ago....I've had 3 at one time....still have 1 unbuilt but I don't have the box so I have no idea who the maker was....all I know is it's not available anymore....you might try ebay....it was a battery operated toy....you have to rip out the whole bottom and replace it with something else. It is a Mercedes...I believe a G4.
Good luck

It is/was a Mercedes. Azimut/ADV had/have a resin kit of it.

I know because it's itching to be build on my shelf for a couple of years now.

Hello, many many years ago there was a 1/35th version of what your looking for made by Tokyo Marui, It indeed was a 6 wheeled Mercedes Benz Staff car. It also included 6 figures with it, Hitler among the figures. I dont know if its still made or who would be making it but th
ats the old kit from back in the 1970's. I hope this helps in your search. Cheers Kevin
