My first diorama, a few questions
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, September 28, 2004 6:16 AM
Hello, all- I've decided to build the ultimate in modeling; the diorama (my first attempt). I've spotted a photo of a Ju-87 Stuka next to a patch of woods. It has tree branches leaning against the front of her wings, for camo, while she's being serviced by ground crew. There's also a ladder propped up on 'er and the crew in varying positions as well.
Here's a question for ya; What would've been an appropriate vehicle employed by Luftwaffe ground crew? One that would carry maintenence supplies to a Stuka (or any) ground-bound bird on the Eastern front in the latter part of the Russian campaign? (drums, ladders, tools, ect.) This will be made in 1:72 scale. Names of the vehicles and the model manufacturers that produce them is what I need from you good folks!!
This is not in the photo, but my addition. Thanks, be good!- Craig

OK, I'll make it easier- Would a Kettenkrad be out of place in this scenario?

A ketten krad would deffinetly not be out of place. Acdemy and Hasegaw both make on in 1/72. Academys comes in the WWII ground vehicles set. I would recommend this for it also comes with a Kuble wagon. I believe that hasegaws set comes with a motorcycle and side car. Italeri and Hasegaw both make a 1/72 Kuble wagon.
For a truck that would carry tools etc. I know that there were Opel Blitz's. Italeri makes one. For Luftwaffe Ground personel Prieser makes a nice set. Comes with ground crew and pilots and 2 dogs.
so vehicles for the Luftwaffe:
Kettenkrad-hasegaw-Academy
Opel blitz-italeri
Kublewagon-italeri-academy-hasegaw
I think I have covered it all.
Hope this helps.

My opinion is also a Opel Blitz reffuler tanker,a kubelwagen and a bomb load Kart
The figures you have many options in the airfix 1/72 luftwaffe ground personel.
Send some pics after,and good work.(I love luftwaffe dios,I am in final phase of one)
