T5 FüKW

Post by rolandrat » Thu Nov 21, 2013 11:23 am

Today I spotted a modern FüKW, a T5 4motion of THW Stuttgart. Car & Camper conversion. Heros Stuttgart 16/11 is a mobile 'FüSt' = 'Führungsstelle' = leading post.

A '07 T5 with only 9,000 km on the clock. It recently passed MOT.

An interesting feature are the three sockets for the detached mast.

Nice one Roland, liking the detail ppic of the sockets too. What kind of mast does it have? Is it a telescopic on a tripod base a bit like the demountable Hirschmann on the KATS T2s?

It took me a certain time to find a pic of one of the 43 FüKWs built showing the mast as well.

It's a 6 m mast with an omnidirectional antenna.

Good news for them model collectors in our midst: RIETZE launched a correct 1:87 LWB one with a roof of medium height and front flashers in 2009. :) ()

A white foil on the rear window, too many seats inside and a missing tow bar, well ...

WIKING reacted with an even more expensive but poor 1:87 SWB model with a tin top and missing front flashers but no rear window and a tow bar tho'. :-K

One shouldn't take the easy way out ...
