Nice vehicle, surprisingly small. A question about camouflage: why are the camouflage colors of that time bright and colorful, while the current NATO camouflage is dark? Surely the camouflage worked back then?
In WW2, most camos where made to break the lines of the tank, not to make them invisible. Breaking the lines means making the tank look like a (or many) random object(s), and so, with the worse recon equipment they've had back there, they might pass over a parked tank thinking it's not one.
Clearly this is a replica of the Wespe, not the real thing. It's built atop a modern tank or recon vehicle chassis. The chassis looks British in origin, 1950s perhaps? Be nice if they would spell this out rather than letting people think it's the real deal...
This is not a Tank!! It is a self propelled howitzer!!
