You always see the three axle staff cars in the WWII movies. Were they that common?

One of the joys of doing WW2 in 1/87, is I get to use this and other delights for staff cars: link

Both Busch and Ricko make beautiful 1/87 scale German "staff cars" from the 1930s. I do not believe they make the G-4 you are interested in. I think one of the Japanese model companies made the G-4 in 1/72 scale but I'm not sure it is still available. You can see my Busch (Mercedes 170V) and Ricko German cars (Horch Pullman and Horch 930V) in pics 1, 2, 3 and 22 of my Germany 1945 Gallery at link

Hasagawa made the 1/72nd scale version and there is a resin one in HO from perhaps Arsenal M or one of the other small European companies.
