    I let some 1940s air out of one of the motorbike tyres back in 2001, it was surprising that it was still inflated after 60 years in the sea...!

    That looks more like a slipper drop tank... difficult to know what size it is from the picture though.
  3. John F
    Does it have any markings? If so I should be able to help you with a translation.

    On a side note, I was looking on the gov.uk website last night and I noticed that tracked vehicles are exempt from vehicle approval in the UK... https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-approval/exemptions-from-vehicle-approval So you might well be able to register it, Jon :-)

    I've been thinking the same thing, this is my favourite thread on the forum.

    I've seen some good full-size static models made out of wood, is that an option for you? It'd certainly be cheaper.

    I've sent you a PM, Sean.

    Hi Sean Thanks for the reply. Is there any chance you could post a pic of the trousers? The jacket's unfortunately too small for my mate.
  9. John F
    How much do you want for the trousers? I might know someone that wants the RAF jacket too, what size is it & how much?
  10. John F
    Yes, the "Ergänzungskasten" and the "Vorratskasten."

    Nerd factoid: the designation "Jumo" was applied to all petrol, diesel and jet engines produced by Junkers... it's a typically-German contraction of "Junkers Motor". :-)

    I'm sure others are wondering this too - what are you planning for the tracks?

    There are lots of IS3 hulks on Shikotan Island, to the north west of Hokkaido Island, Japan: https://russiatrek.org/blog/army/abandoned-tanks-on-shikotan-island/

    What about a Schwimmwagen? Possibly easier than a tank but with its own challenges, I should imagine.

    As ever, I remain immensely impressed by the levels of skill & detail in this Pz II recreation. Keep up the good work!

    Glad you got it sorted, Tony. And glad you found cheaper insurance... I've got a 4.0 V8 Disco 2 as well, with a manual box :-). It's a gem to drive but it's a thirsty bugger...!

    There are some images of the interior of a Pz. III here, I've no idea if the stowage of Gurtsäcke in the two vehicles is similar but it might give you some ideas: http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=587907

    Yep, see below - although I'm sure you'll have already seen them yourself: Description of Panzer Magnetlampe: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missinglynx/magnetlampe-in-panzers-t53887.html Reference to Magnetlampe storage tin: https://www.shapeways.com/product/XMN8A8LW6/1-16th-generic-interior-panzer-parts-1 I also found another description of the Magnetlampe that confirms the one in the first link but I can't find that page again, sorry.

    From what I can gather, the lamp is stored inside that canister in the picture. Here's a link to an auction on German eBay for a WW2-era magnetic vehicle inspection lamp - I've no idea if it's the right one for the Panzer 2, but it does have a magnetic base and it does match the various descriptions I've found on the Internet. https://www.ebay.de/itm/392281309997

    This thread is the reason I signed up to the forum - fantastic work, mate.
