Krupp Protze, Sdkfz.70

...which is also correct. Protze is a noun while protzen's a verb. And like so often in my language, both are not related to each other even though being spelled nearly identical.

Good old German! English has some similar happenings Words that sound alike, but are spelled differently and have different meanings…

Ya I have a tangential interest in words. Really like creative palindromes. And capitonyms - words that have a different meaning when capitalized. Like polish vs Polish, Turkey vs turkey, March vs march etc. At heart I'm a numbers guy but these linguistics bits I find interesting.
Best palindrome in my opinion was "A man, a plan a canal - Panama"

Looks like an interesting little build Carlos. I built the Matchbox one of these back in the 80's and wouldn't mind building this one - I even have a German gun to hang off the back of it.

Stuart I certainly recommend this kit. Or Tamiya has also modified and reissued this kit in a Sdkfz.69 version not too long ago. That one is the prime mover version with sideways beach seating and ammunition lockers in four corners of the cargo area. It also includes their Pak.36 AT gun. If I ever happen stumble across one for a decent price…

That's good to know Carlos - thanks.

It might not actually be the right vehicle to tow what I have, a Flakvierling 38, but I've always liked the Protze.

Nice! I always liked the Protze.

Well it towed the single barrel 2cm Flak, so what not the Flavierling?

Nice! I always liked the Protze.

Thank you! I hope that you like how this turns out.

Good point - that's an excellent photo.
