I have some Trakz Elefant tranfers/decals and what I need to know is what decals go with what? There are no instructions and I don’t have a lot of reference material available locally. I am looking for Munch’sbook.
I was going to go with the second pattern down on a Bergetiger(P)
I have numbers in the following colors black with clear center, solid white and red with white trim. There are some large squares in the following colors white with a red bar diagonal, red with white trim, solid yellow, solid red, and solid white. There are pairs of shields with and eagle in the center yellow, white and red with black eagles and black with white eagle. Three skull & cross bones one large two small. Eight white round disks with a sword in the center and four shields with a tank in the centerand a colored section on the bottom with the word PAMPAS on three of them. the color for the bottom of the shields are yello, white and red. One shield has red on the bottom but lacks the word.
Does Munch’s book say what happened to all the Elefants? were they destroyed in Italy and fighting in the east, surrendered or just worn out? Everything I have found talks about Kursk and then relocating to Italy in '44. What happened in 1945? Maybe the Bergetiger(P)s were reissued to another unit or used with King Tigers?
Thank you for any information.
The local library system lists Sherman a History of American Med Tanks, but no one will loan it out to the smaller branches. Worth its weight in Euros also.
Thank you for the picture I shows a lot more information on the Berge the MG and shield on the top, the zimmerit applied. And a different camo pattern. I guess that the large squares would not be applied to the back of the Berge then.
My M-88 did not have a shield on the 50 Cal MG but we found on in the disposal yard and took it. My commander was lusting over a minigun we saw on a gunship, neither of us could figure where inside of the 88 we could fit all that ammo, but we would love the firepower. I think he really wanted to be back in a tank to blow things up.
With allof those Russian infantry running aroun I think the Berge crew would have supplimented their defensive firepower by adding a MG to the roof, but I forgot about the shields on the Hetzers and 251’s.
Once again Thanks.
