Cool. I need to get some refs too. Sorely lacking for this vehicle.

I need to get some refs too.

I pulled out a few from my library and these made the final cut:

1. Panzer Tracts 13-2; even if you have Panzer Tracts 13, get this book. All the Sd.Kfz. 8 wheeler plans are redone from scratch. The older book's plans are update in 1983 from the original set from 1966.

2. Museum Ordnance Special Number 11, Schwerer Panzerspähwagen (Sd.Kfz.231) 8 Rad; excellent text only surpassed by Panzer Tracts 13-2 (PT13-2) but with many automotive component illustrations & museum photos. No scale plans so a perfect companion to PT13-2.

3. Die Gepanzerten Radfahrzeuge des Deutschen Heeres 1905-1945 (Spielberger German language book); contains a section on the 8 wheeler along with Hilary L. Doyle's original set of plans with cutaway from 1966. A cheaper alternative to get the scale plans, albeit at a much smaller scale, is to find the Bellona Military Vehicle Prints Series 12.

4. Panzerspähwagen at War, Trojca Publishing; overpriced but a very nice selection of 304 period photographs.

5. Ground Power #73 from June 2000.

6. Allied-Axis issue 4.

An excellent addition to any IDF library and essential for the AFV club kits of the Centurion.

Hate to ask here, you can PM me if you like- but what did that rangefinder go for?

 

[Bagge]

No problem, it was around 30euro(around 40US dollar).
James, I will see if i can put together a photo review of it, it's a nice unnusual object to build with fine details.

LuckyModel is the sole distributor. Perhaps I can mend things?
