Rudder for "Panzerfähre" (Dragon or HobbyBoss kits)

Modeling Subjects Armor

Let me first of all post following informations:

The “Panzerfähre” (Dragon kit No. 6625 or No. 6669 as well as HobbyBoss equivalents) don’t show any rudder. That’s incorrect. These vehicles used a rudder otherwise the crew wouldn’t be able to steer the vehicles in water. My knowledge is based on original-photos showing this item.

More information will be printed in the German modeling magazine MODELL FAN later on in the year.

The publisher doesn’t allow to preview any details prior the magazine will be printed and available. Therefore I will give more information when published.

Everyone, please be patient until later on.

Those who are able to speak and read German language should be aware of the published review about Dragon’s Panzerfähre in the modeling magazine “MODELL FAN”, issue No. 7 of 2011 !

On pages 38 - 43 you will find all you need for creating the rudder which are missed in all kits ever produced, i.e. Dragon, Hobby Boss and ADV/Azimut !

There is an original-photo showing the rudder …
