Title: Polish wz. 34 Half track transports and artillery tractor variants
Post by: Dranask on 15 November 2024, 07:08:16 PM
Doing a 1939 Polish army.

Would love to have some Polish halftrack wz.34 transport, would also use the same model as a C4P artillery tractor

These were based on the Fiat 621 truck which was built under license in Poland

Pendraken do a Fiat 621 code POL25

I wonder if you could do a conversion using the tracks from a Unic P107 Halftrack code FRE14

I'm sure Leon would be happy to provide the appropriate parts

Thanks for the idea and had the tracks been separate but as I need about 7.

Fiat 621 truck - Pack contains 1 vehicle (1 chassis/cab, 1 flatbed, 1 canvas tilt)
Unic P107 Halftrack - Pack contains 1 vehicle (1 hull, 1 windscreen, 1 canopy)

I'll keep on looking

U304(f), Becker's halftrack (GRV110) has seperate tracks and is based on the P107

It is available in 3d resin from Battlefield 3D, if you ask nicely he'll do them in other scales than those options listed. For compatability with existing Pendraken I'd suggest 1/150 scale.

I couldn't find the wz.34 Half tracks anywhere and got no replies from 3d printers.

So I bought some ZIS-42 halftracks (SVV29) and Fiat 621 tilts from (POL25).

As always the bed of the tilt has to be filed to fit in the back of the truck, and as they weren't designed to join I need to do just a little more than normal. I also filed the angled bed so the truck would sit flatter, preference, maybe not necessary and took out the little rectangle at the back of the cab to allow the truck bed/tilt to get closer.

So left view is with the angle of the base reduced, right as sold, either works, but I prefer the left.
At the end of the day an easy fix.
