Found this thru the Wehrmacht Awards forum while searching for any info on the Goliath. Just curious how your restoration is going? Also I would like to ask if you would you be willing to share the specifications or measurements. I would like to try and build a 1:1 scale replica of the Goliath. Thanks you. - Jimmy Nance, Tue, 28 Feb 2012 6:35PM
Hi, Great album, excellent reference material for our Fallschirmjaeger re-enactment groups latest project (We were on the cover of Skirmish Magazine 2 issues ago) We are building from scratch a 1:1 scale replica of the 302 electric version, we have had the track parts lazer cut and are hoping to use citroen windscreen wiper motors to drive it. Any physical dimensions you can provide would be much appreciated. Cheers Chris - Chris Coxon | www.birminghamtoberlin.com, Sun, 9 Jan 2011 9:03AM

195 German Goliath remote controlled demolition vehicle Sd Kfz 302. Splendid restoration from a incomplete rusted frame, non functional presentation piece, no internal parts. Parts of the tracks are original, the rust damaged parts ( the part of the tracks left on contact this the mud) and other missing parts like the covers have been carefully rebuilt on exact shape, (a difficult work with the tracks parts!). New camouflage paint, with good colours. This is the 1sr Goliath issue, with 2 electric engines, batteries, about 400kg with the charge. Later in the war it was replaced by the 303 version, with a thermic engine to save the copper used with the electric power drive version. Goliath development was copied from pre 1940 French K projects: the Goliath carry an 100 kg explosive charge to destroy a building or a tank, it’s a one shot device.

302 Examples of all three types of track links for the Goliath.
Brown link in front is the earliest type for the Sd.Kfz.302 electric Goliath made of cast aluminum alloy.
The grey links on the left are stamped sheet steel track for the 302 developed to save nonferrous alloys for aircraft production.
The red links on the right are tracks for the Sd.Kfz.303 gasoline engine powered Goliath. They have been simplified from the 302 type and have a simple grouser bar added for traction.
