Furthermore IBD has recently shown the Leopard 2A4 Evolution which looks quite nice.

Cheers Ben

Anyone know of any micro armor manufacturers for the Schützenpanzer SPz 11-2 Kurz? With the M-39 now available I can flesh out some very early BW units. Although I guess the M-39 was only in the school not with operational units it could still be called up if there was a war on. Thanks in advance.

AV8,
Paul, did you build any of the German Bridging vehicles?

The thing that I did was from a few pics in a Tankograd book, using Leopard 1 as bridge layers, so I used some hull and put a styrene stem on the back as if the bridge is deployed. Guess I can use either M1 Wolverine bridge or some other deployed bridges for a table.

Do you have any other ideas. Do want to get some of the M2 amphib truck, not sure where to get any.

Chris,

Yes I did two of the Bibers and two extra bridge sections on trailers. I used the bridging arm from the wolverine pack and cut it to look like the pictures in Tankograd and a Leopard source book I have. I think I used the Wolverine bridge sections as well although I think they're a bit longer than the Biber bridge sections.

Paul,
Glad to hear all is well.
How is the desert?

I made a bunch of Leopard 1 VLB, with hulls of Leopard 1s (other guys stuff) and put styrene down as a stem as if the bridge is deployed. Need to acquire more deployed bridges. I plan to use the Wolverine bridge, as you referenced, and/or some old deployed bridges that are no longer manufactured by another company.

We need, well want, M3 amphips for the Germans. But probably only 8 to 15 or so at the most. May try to scratch build some as if they are deployed in the water, then use a surrogate as when on land moving to the crossing site, possbly the GOAT.

I have most of these on my website, but I (foolishly) got them in the "strong, black" finish, so the printing lines show rather badly.

Hi,

the HS-30 and SPz kurz suggested by redram are not the same as yours Pat, as those are designed and marketed by Masters of Military, unlike yours which were designed by Dragonman.

Cheers,
Benjamin

Redleg, Mike,
How are your modern Germans coming along, What equipment and TO&E did you use/have? I wish Archer Air Defense Radar was made. I may have to finish working on some other items to build out?

I have used some Leopard 2A6M CAN for Leopard 2A6/A7. What are you, how are you deploying Puma?

The German used a 13 vehicle company in the late 80-89's so unless that changed then they would have 13 Puma per company and 41 for a battalion.
