Study of T.Z.F 9b (under construction)

Now it's under investigating the operation of T.Z.F 9b (Turret sighting telescope) of Tiger I, in parallel with the translation work of Tigerfibel. 
Here are two sighting telescope views (lower and upper) and parts list.




Paper model kit; Panzer II, Panzer III and Stug III

21 June, 2020

Two paper model kits from my collection.

Panzer II and Panzer III paper model kits 1/20 scale were printed in WW II Germany.
It's a little bit off-topic from the Panzer manuals, but it's interesting that the paper model kits were used as the tank recognition training in WWII.
These kits were printed in thick paper are approx 70 x 50 cm in size.
Also a "Stug III" paper model kit existed in those days.

From web,
Here is a Stug III paper model kit below.
Unfortunately the image is low resolution, and I could not find the original one.


A adhesive ”UHU, Der Alleskleber” leaflet tells us this paper model kit was used for boys (but who were engaged in the military?) in those days.
"Auch bei den Modellierbogen der Heerestypen gibt es Schwierigkeiten. Sorgfältig müssen die Ketten der Panzerwagen ausgeschnitten werden. Um einen sauberen Nachbau zu erreichen, bestreichen wir die Kleberänder nur mit ganz wenig wasserfestem, farblosen.
