Hello guys!
I'm a 3d modeler. I'm working on a Panzer II (PzKpfw II) exterior interior.
I'm looking for some interior reference. I found 2 pictures from a magazine
Can anyone help me find this magazine? name of the magazine?

Been looking for some detailed pic for the main gun. But didn't find much. Anyone here has or knows some good detailed references of the 2 cm KwK 30 gun and the Panzer 2 engine Maybach HL 62TRM.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Samir,
The book looks to me a Panzertracts volume ( http://www.panzertracts.com/ )
The gun armed several vehicles so you should be able to get some photos from preserved ones like this http://www.net-maquettes.com/pictures/leichter-panzerspahwagen-sdkfz-222-walkaround/?afg238_page_id=2#afg-238
You have really nice works!

I have them. What do you want to know? As far as I am aware, they are only published in hard copy format.

Hey Robert
Well. I need reference so i can model the interior. Is there a possibility that you can scan the books? Like only the page where the images and the blueprints are.

There is a possibility that I could as I do own a scanner but given that the books are the product of decades of hard work by two leading researchers and that all are still in print, do you not think that you should support their efforts by actually buying the books? Each one costs less than the price of a 1/35 tank kit and you can buy from the publisher's website at panzertracts.com and thus encourage the team to keep up its valuable work. They are always my first port of call when looking for info on German WW2 armour and I think they deserve our support if we want to avoid doing all the work ourselves. Just think what it would cost you to visit any one of the surviving Pz IIs in the world and how many hours it would take to measure enough to draw it accurately and they start to look like a ridiculous bargain. After all, two are less than USD20 and the other is less than USD30. They are hardly priced unreasonably.

If you read above. I asked if someone knows were to buy digital copies.(So this obviously means i want to buy and support.) I also tried to contact them via email but it seems they don't have an email address. I wanted digital copies because as you can see i live in Romania, the post system in Romania is very slow and it takes like one month to receive something. I don't have the time to wait that much. In my honest opinion at this day and age a site like that should also sell digital copies. More sales for them.
But Anyway Thanks for you're advice.

As I pointed out above, they don't produce digital versions. It's a fairly small operation. Many publishers don't sell digital versions in my experience, however much we might wish it to be otherwise. There is an email address [email protected] which I've used in the past so it certainly worked then. It may be that there are quicker services than regular post if you need things urgently (we've used FedEx to get documents to Thailand from UK in under 48 hours so I'm sure they can deliver to Romania in under a month) but it's a matter of trading off cost for speed.
