Radub Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 The KDF engine is a VW engine. I've rebuilt enough VW's to know. Indeed, it was the same engine that was used on the KDF-Wagen (aka Wolkswagen Beetle), Kubelwagen and Schwimmwagen. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Radu, Do you know the ETA when we can purchase the Schlepper and lifting accessories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 The Schlepper will be out first, hopefully in a couple of months. The lifting devices are still under development. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manueldthomas Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Greetings Radub and other members By chance I had found this post and was excited to see the renderings superb! have to say My name is Manuel and I have been building models for some time. I try to do models that are not run of the mill....meaning not readily available and somewhat off the wall as example the scheuch schlepper. I have been thinking about producing a model in both 1/18 and 1/6 scale~! The 1/18 scale is explained by mentioning that I heard from a good source....the companys owner that a 1/18 scale Komet should be coming out on the market in the next 2 years. This is a fact because the owner of the company had travelled to China for the mold making process. The 1/6 scale....simple GI Joe size who would not want one:) The problem is that i have drawings and now your renderings to go by but what I am missing is a drawing with dimensions. I even had a NASM record search done but nothing was found. Can anyone help me with this? thanks and glad to be be a member Manuel Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Manual Thomas and sorry don't have the info for you. But some one should be along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi Manuel, In as far as I know, there are no published drawings with dimensions. This model is based on some measurements of a preserved machine and a lot of time-consumming research. This artwork can be easily updated for kit in any other scale. Do you represent a kit manufacturer? Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you represent a kit manufacturer? Radu Hi Radu no no just a person that loves to build tinker and make .,....... the scheuch schlepper and me - 163 has always been a favorite of mine. Just by chance I had contact with a person that owns a business ....who produces airplane models, he was looking for drawings and I helped him out manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbadur Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Radu, the only dimensions I know can be found here: http://f.hatena.ne.jp/canio_plus/20091114083024 This cad drawing comes from the Japanese built report; http://f.hatena.ne.jp/canio_plus/20091114083024 The dimensions he took from fotos..

Radub Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I am familiar with that project. It is quite impressive. In fact, as part of the research I familiarised myself with many known sources on the little tractor. Unfortunately, those drawings you linked suffer from a number of dimensional inaccuracies.
