I am thinking about a diorama of a German tank repair depot on the eastern front circa early 1944. Germans often use a collapsible 16 ton traveling gantry crane for lifting heavy objects like the turret or complete gun. I know there are resin models of the crane out there. But this seems ideal for scratch building using styrene. Does anyone know where I can find some detailed drawings of the crane?

Der Strabokran by Volker Ruff has comprehensive 1/35 scale drawings in it. It's a great reference and contains many inspirational photos.
