Soon from Panzer Art, a set of resin cargo for the Famo.
The Famo had a large cargo bed which is often hard to fill realistically. Panzer Art comes with a new set of items that will surely help to achieve a better finish for the Tamiya kit.

There is a main part with several equipment items together like barrels, boxes and tools, plus four road wheels of a Panthe, two gas tanks and another large part covered with a tarpaulin.

I was thinking the same thing. That means you have a great mind, BTW.

I was thinking the same thing. That means you have a great mind, BTW.[/quote] Yeah, same here: Why would there be all those small tools lying around? I can't get too much out of that... All the rest looks fine to me, but let's be honest: can't we get this layout much cheaper on our own with the help of a well kept spare parts box?

Well, vehicles are not always moving... you can have a static scene where these tools, and more, can be laying around. Also some of them are quite heavy and over soft surfaces. And finally it is not the first time I just leave tools wherever... and yes, probably loosing them as a result All in all, I like a lot this set and despite it would be possible to make one yourself, it has always been a problem for me to fill spaces realistically... I guess I lack artistic sense

Me likey VERY much! Order to follow. I was just saying the other day that I needed something interesting to stuff in the back of my FAMOs...

That may be so, but I've seen a high school football player catapult out of the back of a pickup truck when the driver hit a parking lot speed bump too hard. Much heavier than a wrench. Just sayin'...there's no right or wrong.

This big package this is the Maybach engine for PzIII/|Pz IV tanks About small tools and fuel pump.....This is only our proposition for FAMO cargo. Of course, some of you are doubtful, but, in other hand, FAMO was slow motion toving vehiicle, not buggy car

In my opinion the cargo has been put together haphazardly and without a logic sense! The FaMo wasn't a buggy but it was a moving vehicle nonetheless and surely not a boat floating on a smooth,calm sea! Those tools would make sense on a parked vehicle snd no self-respecting mechanic would leave them around on a moving vehicle or so far away from the place he'd be working on an engine or something...they look like abandoned or forgotten tools left there without any apparent reason and that's not the only thing IMO...a more "universal" cargo would have been better,since you won't be able to build a vehicle in Africa or before a certain date for example ,given those Panther roadwheels! Me,I'd have rather had a quite similar cargo but with a l few more 200lts cans,jerrycans,a few crates and one or two more spare wheels for the very "9" or something like that and certainly enough without those tools! This is not a critic,just my opinion! You can do better than this,knowing and having seen your other stuff! Cheers

Pawel - PERFECT RESPONSE! Guys, it's resin. If you don't like the loose tools then carve them off with a hobby knife or a small grinder. The FAMO I am working on is one undergoing heavy emergency maintenance in an open field setting. The hood is off and there are lots of open floor panels to give a bit of a "see through" affect. This will reveal many underbody details as seen through the open body structure. In my case many of Pawel's smaller items may be moved to the ground next to the vehicle so all the loose tools will be perfect!
