TimDarrah Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) I was reading the old Squadron book "Blitzkrieg" in prep to build a BEF Matilda and I saw a cool photo of a Luftwaffe Sd.Kfz. 223 with just WL on the number plate along with the 7th Panzer Division markings on it. Doing some research on the vehicle I found that I'll need a Fug 10 radio for this vehicle (the Hobby Boss kit I have ordered does not have any radios in it at all according to the reviews I've read). So might anyone know if any aftermarket company makes the Fug 10 sets? I'm sure that I can scratchbuild them but I'm lazy and would rather just buy a set already made up. The vehicle actually had a medium-range radio, the Fug 10 and a long range one and I'm almost 100% certain I have an extra in my spares box. I'm going to get the Tank Workshops interior set to use for this vehicle. Thanks, Tim Edited April 26, 2017 by TimDarrah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickCummelin Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) FWIW, I doubt you want to buy another kit just for the radio(s), but Dragon's #6592--Sd.Kfz.251/17 Ausf. C (a 2-in-1 kit) contains a massive early war radio set if you wish to build the vehicle as some sort of 1942 "Hermann Goring" Division command vehicle. I need to say that I am NOT any sort of expert on WWII German radios, but according to the box, this is a Fu5 and Fu7 radio set (five major components in separate racks) that can be assembled in different configurations. May be worth looking at (?) if it may work for you. Edited April 28, 2017 by RickCummelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimDarrah Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Rick, I hadn't thought of that kit & I have one on the shelf. Will have to see if it has what I need. Thanks for the idea. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickCummelin Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Tim, did you ever find the Fug 10 radio you were looking for? If not, I have quite a few German radios in my parts box I could sort through, but I need to know what I'm looking for. If you could post a photo or a link to a photo of a Fug 10 I can see if I have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimDarrah Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Rick, Thanks. I have the Tank Workshops complete interior for the 223 and it comes with the radios. I was doing the research before I bought the set. Thanks, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
