eoyguy Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Andy's HHQ announced that Takom is doing a Panzerbefehlswagen version, maybe the most useful of all the versions. They were seen much later on in the war than most the gun versions. Enticing! LSP_Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that this was likely a one-off used in Berlin in 1945, it seems like an odd choice to do this and not the far more common Ib with 4.7cm gun that was used on a number of fronts... I agree. Would have much preferred the 47mm version. Would make a great Afrika Korps version. LSP_K2 and eoyguy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Agree. I would bet that the Panzerjager with the 47mm gun would be a much more extensive tooling project. Much more of the interior can be seen from the top. The base kit is sparse. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 It will be a fun kit aside from the suspension. And now they have released the command version! Might be time to change the website to Large Scale Plans and Armor. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 6/30/2022 at 2:34 AM, eoyguy said: From what I can glean, it was more "this" than "these", as it seems only one existed. I would guess that there was no onboard storage. Probably a second vehicle or cart with ammo. All the pics of other models of it I have found show no means of on board storage, and the one photo doesn't show the rear. Probably used like a towed anti tank gun (eg the pak 40) with ammo brought up separately. Just a weird choice by Takom, perhaps because there is an extant 1/35 kit by Dragon that they could base theirs on??? Definitely a left-of-field choice for a 1/16 scale kit ... but on the other hand smart logic in engineering - considering a Das Werk 1/16 StuK 40 L/48 (detailed and from China) already exists in the StuG.III Ausf.G kit ... take the gun and the pre-existing Pz.Kfpw.I Ausf.B Takom kit ... and there'll be just the adaption bits to tool ... makes me wonder though if we may yet get a PaK.40 ... or a Pz.Kpfw.IV from Takom? ... definitely nowhere to store ammo on this thing as the loading occurs on top of the engine deck and the shells would be too cumbersome to store and retrieve from the front of the vehicle ... and yes ... Dragon (who do/did great research on their kits) have one in 1/35 to reference and judging by the colouring on the box art (DRA 6781) it looks like its a quick one off adaption rather than a purpose built example ... looks like Takom have upscaled one of the Dragons' included crew figures also Rog Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice on selected kits if there were 2 options for interiors. I strip down exterior version and a Trumpeter like full blown interior.

Rog Assuming we got a no frills Panzer IV, without all the interior guts that I don't use anyway, that would be great. Like yourself, a Pak 40 would also be most welcome, as would a 1:16 88mm flak gun like a 36 or 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I messed with just ten track links last night (for about 15 minutes), and only managed to get two plastic pins to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
