Porsche off-road vehicles are not an idea that emerged in the 21st century. Actually, in the 1930s, such vehicles appeared, what is even more interesting - using a hybrid drive (however, google the B-Zug Artillery Tractor phrase, and you will see something completely astonishing produced even earlier).

Under construction: Lockheed L-14H2 Super Electra | MPM 1:72
This is a build I've started some time ago, one of my modeler's dreams that comes true in a now uncommon scale in my workshop: 1:72. This is mainly becouse the subject is hardly available in a larger scale, and if it is, the price is just unacceptable. At least four hundred zlotys (with the … Continue reading Under construction: Lockheed L-14H2 Super Electra | MPM 1:72
