Is there such a truck known as FAUN L10000?

Not sure whether this type is indeed real, I happened to stumble across a model website (link: https://www.customscale.de/resin-modell ... un-l10000/) that contains this particular truck. As I tried to search for more info on this particular vehicle, I cannot seem to find any information related to this FAUN L10000. I am wondering whether this is a real vehicle or not as it seems that I cannot find any historical photos needed, I tried checking with the KfZ der Wehrmacht site(http://www.kfzderwehrmacht.de/Homepage_ ... /faun.html) but it does not show anything that look remotely to the FAUN L10000, though the closest resemblance would be the FAUN L900, except that the FAUN L10000 has four doors. Help is greatly appreciated, with sincere regards, Hob.

Hi Hob,

Your doubts are justified. Here a pic of the type L 900 with a total different motor hood. I assume that the inventor of this vehicle combined motor hood and cabin of the type railway tractor ZR 567 (even with the hooter on the roof of the cabin) and the chassis with flatbed of the type L 900.

Regards

Bert
