Hi,

Here is a report on Exercise Felberg of the German-franco Brigade (BFA) which took place in Bergen (Germany) at the end of the year, with more than 2,500 soldiers and 600 vehicles present.

Military Photo Report presents here a few images waiting to release in January a paper booklet dedicated to this Franco-German exercise: http://militaryphotoreport.blogspot.fr/ ... emand.html

The (what I assume to be) mine clearing vehicle in the last photo based on what appears to be an M60 chassis would make an interesting build. :)

It is a Keiler, a mince clearing vehicle based on M48 tank. Just an improved "copy" of the Sherman Flail.

Only as improved as the M48 was just an improved Sherman :lol:

There was a resin kit out many years ago, I don't think there's much of a chance to see it these days...

By the way...without all the dust these Boxers in ISAF camo look so very much like they have the 1943 camo scheme...
