I'm trying to find some pictures of the Krupp Protze Kfz.83, "leichter Scheinwerferkraftwagen I & II".

I'm trying to find out what the loading area of the truck looked like, with the "Maschinensatz 85 Volt, 8 kW" loaded, as I'm trying to build a 1/35 model of it, based on the Tamyia kit (35104) and I need to modify the back of it.

I've found pictures of most other versions of the Krupp Pritze, but the Kfz. 83 seems to have been very rare as I've only found one image (see below)

Not the clearest images in the world, but hopefully they help some..
Doesn´t look like theres much modification to the actual Protze ... the unit seems to sit on the groundspace that exists between the side benches!

Thanks guys!

You're the best!
I've spent a lot of hours trying to find pictures like that ...

That helped a lot!

Like you said Frank, it looks like they just placed the generator in between the two benches in the back.

Hi Jörgen

Some info on the

Maschinensatz 85Volt, 8kW

Edit .. doh, obviously you already have that ...

Thanks Steffen.

Yes, I already have the Maschinensatz 85 Volt, 8 kW...
Got the Deskit resin kit . It's not 100% accurate, compared to the drawings and pictures I've seen, but it sure beats trying to build it from scratch ...

I now also know that the "leichter Scheinwerferkraftwagen I & II" can be both the Krupp Protze AND the Horch 4x4 (as shown in the picture Peter found)

again, thank's guys! It's appreciated!

As my last cry for help was successfull, I'll try again ...

Does anyone know what font is used on german WWII vehicle licence plates?

Figured I would try and make my own, with "real" numbers as in the pictures provided above.

A lot of the later-issue Dragon kits come with blank license plates and a series of numbers, where you can make your own. Might be a handier option!

Thanks for the info Frank!

Hope this helps, it's a great walkaround of the Krüpp Protze, and more !

Regarding license plates; Archer has a set to make whatever you want, AR35047.

Germania sets are another option :

Thanks for the info guys.

I found a font that worked very well and some paper where I could use a laser printer to create the decals that I wanted/needed.
