Modern "Translations"!!!
Permalink   


For my sins, I was volunteered by my local modelling club to produce a list of WWI models for other members who didn't have any knowledge in this field.  Three weeks later and some 500+ models listed, I tried to get a decent translation of an "A7V Überland Geländewagen".

The "nearest" translation that Chrome came up with is that it is an SUV!!!!

With MGM producing a model of it with guns on, I'm having a problem with a classification - is it a self-propelled gun, a truck with guns mounted, an armoured car or an AA truck?  There aren't any details of the guns, so I haven't a clue.

Any ideas might or might not be welcomed, depending on the classification offered!!

Tony

That version was an anti-aircraft vehicle, ie they were anti-aircraft guns. I don't know what a tracked AA vehicle is called - SP AA?

Makes sense - I'll therefore classify it in the Armoured car/trucks section along with the models of Ack-Ack guns on ordinary trucks.
Ta muchly.
