gautrek Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I can't resist it. As good as the stock graphics are they are not dirty and grimy enough for me. So here goes my first WIP. Its a L3/33. I have dustied it up and added a bit of mudguard damage. It also comes with optional unit markings. And it looks some much better with my dusty tracks added as well. I may release this soon. Or i may keep it till Crimbo and release all i have done then as a crimbo pressy [ December 14, 2003, 05:01 PM: Message edited by: gautrek ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer_Meyer Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Who the hell would use such a thing in a battle. The thing looks like it would fall apart if a bird took a dump on it. Oh, nice mod btw, Gj! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dressler Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 That mod looks good. I believe that model used the 3.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine though, so it looks like you might be missing the recoil starter and the leaf bagger attachment. I've included a reference pic of the starter from Jentz and Doyle's "Small Garden Tillers and Riding Lawnmowers of the Second World War" if you decide to add it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botto Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 "Steel Coffin" Its a testament to the bravery of Italian soldiers that they ever went to battle in such a machine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atiff Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I read on another list that, after the Italians surrendered, there was some discussion about mounting these on the back of Panthers and Tigers for use as "lifeboats" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-E Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Originally posted by atiff: I read on another list that, after the Italians surrendered, there was some discussion about mounting these on the back of Panthers and Tigers for use as "lifeboats" No, no, no. That was the Armor Mistel Project (known as "Amp"). The thinking was the L3 would hold the driver and aimer while mounted on the back of a Panther. The Amp would them make a high speed pass at the enemy and launch the panther after wiring the Panther's firing switch to "fire," thereby giving a continuous rate of fire. While the L3 would swoop off to one side or the other and return to base for re-arming. The lifeboat confusion came because many Italian crews waited until they were under fire before releasing the Panther and thus giving the impression of being a lifeboat. There were a couple of crew that became aces using the Amp. Their trick lay in their ability to finely tune the aim of the Panther so that it was an effective battering ram, causing much damage and the ensuing exchange of insurance paperwork would tie up the allies for hours (many of the allies did not even have their registration, much less proof of insurance in their tanks!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
