If you want to number your upcoming HM 234/3
Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2010 4:15 am
anyways I was thinking then of marking a HM Puma as a Lehr PSW..since noone knows exactly how Lehr's were numbered vs 2.Pz..but assume since Lehr had 26 Puma and 2.Pz had 25, they were the same or along the same lines, and Lehr used red/white tact numbers on some of their AFVs, I would be taking some liberty with the markings I know.
So then I drifted to the blank canvas of the new 234/3. Which is a June'44 vehicle just delivered to 116.Pz. as were all of 116.Panzer Aufklär Abteilung's panzerspähwagens(13x234/1 and 3x234/3). The HM model is so new to the unit, the workshop company has yet to camo and add the unit and tact. markings. lol
So now we have a job to do. First thing first. I would assume the windhound insigna would go on the bow plate as with their 251s I've seen, along with the s.PSW tact. sign(late war sign, in white applied over the camo)
also a tact.sign would go on the rear plate. both on the right side, when facing the plate.
As for the crosses. Those are good where they are, as is the ID stencil on the rear driver of the fighting compartment.
Now for the numbering. well I posted how 2.Pz did theirs earlier. 116 PzAA was based on the new '44 type Abteilung with 16 PSW in the 1.Kompanie...so a truppe was 3x PSW in 5 truppes. with the 16th PSW being the stabs(Staff) AFV.
so the layout would be for example: Stab: 101
1.Kp, 1.Truppe or Zug: 3x 234/1 111-113
1.Kp, 2.Truppe or Zug: 3x 234/1 121-123
1.Kp, 3.Truppe or Zug: 3x 234/1 131-133
1.Kp, 4.Truppe or Zug: 3x 234/1 141-143
1.Kp, 5.Truppe or Zug:(support/heavy) 3x 234/3 151-153
