We've been fortunate in the last decades to get more and more research available. Lots of photos have emerged of very unusual items. What are Axis photos that you wish would show up one day?

Here are some off the top of my head (if they exist):

Jagdtiger mit 8.8cm Pak (pipe dream?)
SdKfz 247A or B interior or exterior shots (woefully few)
that crazy Tiger I demolitions carrier (why???)
SdKfz 250/8 Stummel interior (I've heard this called the "holy grail" of pics)
IR gear (add to the confusion?)
Battle of Bulge ersatz "disguised" vehicles (Panther, Stug, captured US gear) (more please)

I would have to say that the Germans burning most of them didn't help.

I would like more pics of the 234 series myself - Italeri has done all of them in 1/35th scale - you got all these aftermarket kits out there for them and there is very little reference on them - I have about 5-6 books and most contain the same tired old pictures.

How about some books on the Jagdpanzver IV L/70A - you know - some pics of it besides it's left side or pics of it blown to HE double L. It is hard to get that model right when there is nothing left of the thing in all the pics you have. :-)

Oh well I guess that just sounds more like a rant than wish list additions...

I'd wish for some more pics of the Kingtiger in action, for example during battle of the bulge..... (preferably colourpics)...

and those battle of the bulge disguised vehicles sound great too...

I Didn't know the germans burned their pics?

They torched quite a few towards the end.

My wishlist:

Raketenwerfer IV (I only know one photo)
SdKfz 251 with Renault R35 turret
That mysterious halftrack based on a Panzer II
And all these "Let's take a captured tank and weld rocket launchers onto it"-conversions



Yes people didn't want to get caught with nazi-propaganda (or things that could have looked like propaganda).

Any training photos of IR Panthers and 251's working together, any IR training photos whatsoever...

yeah I know Mr. Smartalec.. it's IR so they trained at night...

see why it's so rare!?!?

Interior photos of the radio operators station of any of the gun mounting 251's 9 late, 22, etc.. what was left in there ???

The definitive Panther G late, in all dark green with or without White faux id bands, Berlin Defense color walkaround. Hey, if I'm going to dream, I'll dream BIG

good pics of liebmunster uniforms, fliegerfaust in action photos,

Pics of ALL the steelwheeled Panthers, 234 interior details, especially the /4.

Stowage pics of the 251 variants and while we're at it the 250's.


I could go on and on...

More of the SwS seires of halftracks,especially the rocket launcher type

Demag halftrack that had the 5cm A/T gun

Play around on this site-www.auchtungpanzer.com they have a lot of pics of many German tanks and vehicles including IR panther.

oh ya they also have an ersatz panther as an m-10
