Hey is there anybody who can give me some information about the german fieldkitchen?
I've bought it, but I think the kit isn't complete. The kit is from Tamya.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi,

I have both Tamiya kits - i.e. the one with the horses and the one with the cooks.

What do you think is missing?

Cheers

I think these kits make a relly interesting dio. Whats missing? Maybe a few greatfull soldiers tucking into a warm meal!

rick
I have the kit too, fill us in on what you think is missing. Give us a sprue and part # or instruction step # I'd be happy to check it out for you.

Howdy ,

With the field kitchen models are NO eating soldiers stored .
This is another kit .. ( also from Tamiya )

Rick,
Check out SCHIFFER`S new mag/book called GERMAN MILITARY TRAILERS AND TOWED EQUIPMENT by Horst Beiersdorf. The front cover accually shows the rear end of a feldkuche in use albeit not the exact versions as Tamiyas but very close showing the steps and the coffee dispenser. It seems as the war progressed and horse drawn apperatus turnd to rubber tired equipment a lot of it either stayed the same, changed slightly,or was put on trucks of all kinds.There also seems to be as many feild kitchens as there were differant types of trucks they were put on .Tamiyas model could feed 170 personel in the field with only one cook . A while ago I purchesed Scale Model Accessories feild kitchen model 106 witch is a differant configuration ie. rubber wheels but basically the same thing.
GOOD MODELING prbesch

I have the kit with the cooks, and the eating soldiers I have too.
But when I look to the image on the box, I see a few things what I can’t find in the box:
The coffeetap, a handle, a stepladder and chains. The chains I have already made from a ship chain from the model shop, but the other thins looks me hardly to make myself.
Rick

Rick,
What you really need to get your hands on is the vol.27 of Military Miniatures in Review, most commenly known as MMiR. Try them at ampersandpublishingco.com. This issue illistrates and explains exactly what you are looking for in extra-detailing this,what I think is an excelent reissued, kit.
GOOD MODELING prbesch

We also have some images in the gallery:

Good luck with it.

Jim

Thanks for all. The photo's are nice, but is there anybody who can tell me how I can make the things what I miss?
Rick

Rick,
Too much info to repeat hear but get ahold of MMiR vol#27. Its got all the info you`ll need .Come on ,isn`t there someone out there who`s read this issue and back me up?
ALL MODELING IS GOOD MODELING!!! prbesch

Private prbesch, I was on the site you give me, but I can't find voll.27. Only 26. Is that right?
Rick

Rick, Prbesch is right!! Get the MMIR #27. the diorama article by Joe Porter features a Tamiya field kitchen and shows how he detailed it. Some of the bits you mention,the coffee spigot for example,are on the box but not in the kit. In fact, the Mr. Porter mentions the box art as a source for detailing. Lots of fun though. I'm on my second.JOCK

Sorry to ask but what is MMiR#27?

Where do you find it?

Cheers
Digger #:-)

Everybody must have the same idea's with these kits. I've done a dio using these 2 kits plus the machinegun team on manuveres. The scene shows the kitchen with a group of soldiers eating and relaxing and a column of men marching past on way to the front giving them looks of envy.
here is a link to view some pictures of this:-

sorry for the quality of the pictures, I am trying to get a better camera.
Also used in the picture is the puppy(with the group of eating soldiers) a dead rabbit and some eggs in a helmet all from the Tamiya livestock set.
I hope this helps to give you some idea's for your dio.
:-)

Sergeant REMEARMR thanks for the foto's. Wher are all the men from, and the other things? I'm very interesting in it

Rick

Hi Rick! Im currently working on the same kit as well...... My idea is to use a kettenkrad from tamiya towing the field kitchen...... You could check out February s issue of scale models international where they featured a dio of the tamiya field kitchen being loaded on a truck.

I presume modern US army has field kitchens too. Does anyone have pictures of these (folded and during "operation") ? Maybe an interesting item for scratchbuilding.
Thanks !

Jan

Sergeant basturk I have two questions for you. Do you have some photo's of your dio and where can I buy that issue on the net.
Thanks,
Rick.

In a magazine I just baught, there's a great picture of a german field kitchen in Normandy : the german cook has his hands on the head, while american soldiers are smelling the still hot soup they've just liberated. I'll try to scan it tonight.

Listen up men ,
MMIR just happens to be the best military magazine printed in the U.S.

Thats the acronym for MILITARY MODELERS IN REVIEW. The`re published by their own Ampersand Publishing co,who keep growing into possibly the best publishing co. in the world .............ALL MODELING IS GOOD [email protected] please all, call me Pete.

That would be a great story for a (my) dio. Im waiting for the pictures!!

Rick

OK, I scanned the picture and placed it on MSN.
Now, let's see if I can place it here...

Hey the photo is very, very nice. It would be a good story of a dio. Do anybody know where I can buy eating american soldiers? I like to make a dio like the photo.

Thanks,

Rick
:-H

Great shot,Penpen! Thanks. The Schiffer book , German Military Trailers &Towed Equipment,has some good shots on pg.24. Sadly, reference is rare. JOCK
