I just built this model from Tamiya and had the same problems you had finding references online. I found one mention of the LAH operating Wirbelwinds during the Battle of the Bulge. The Spielberger book " Panzer IV and its variants" has some information on the Wirbelwind. IIRC, Panzer Tracts has also published a book about the Wirbelwind. The kit itself is very easy to put together. I couldn’t find any faults with the construction or details. If you need anything else, let me know.
What, specifically, are you loking for? I have some stuff I can scan for you or look up in several books.
Thanks alot guys.
