SWS 1946
















My friend Wayne Wayne Wanner has been working on making the Roco SWS Mule into an APC.
















The 251 halftrack was getting to be about ten years old by the time of the end of WWII and certainly a new vehicle would not be unreasonable. Wayne has replaced the rear cargo compartment with a crew compartment. This is a great job and completed in the ambush camouflage. Good work Wayne!















Luftwaffe 1946 has been a graphic novel series and has been popular with airplane model builders for some time. Only recently have ground warfare model builders begun building models of ultra late war or alternative history WWII vehicles and soldiers. I am hoping we can get a plastic figure company to make ultra late war troops too, but no luck so far. The US, USSR, and Germany were all on the verge of many new technologies that would have made the ultra late war battles very different from combat up unto that time.

The SWS halftrack conversions are HO 1/87th scale from Roco Minitanks. They are some of the oldest Roco vehicles made. I had them as a child in the 1960's, so Wayne has done a great job with this old war horse.
