RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi guys, I have looked through the forum and can't find anything, I'm looking for a site or book with Tank aces and pictures of their tanks, Micheal Wittmanns is easy, but others arnt I'm looking to create an aces tank and need reference pics. Can anyone help thanks,Steve.

Very many depending on tank type.
Kurt Knispel(KIA '45 , Hungary in a KT)began in StuGs
Otto Carius (recently passed- Tiger 1 217)
Herman Bix(jagdpanther)
Barkmann

A load more names, but certainly in the case of Knispel, not may pictures of the actual machines.
Google is a mine of info, but so are the well known books.

Really its about what you can reasonably credit to be a likely/plausible version of the machine they were in charge of.
Just because there are no known pictures of the machine,only confirms one thing.............there are no known pictures.

Do the research and decide, than please share with us your decided build

Yes Google does help with names but not pictures so much, I'm edging towards Ernst Barkmann and Panther 424, or a Tiger of Otto Carius 217, but still gathering info and hunting pictures.

Quite a bit of info, and pics, to be had on german sites, if you want to try that: Here's just one example from: http://forum.cf.panzergeneral.com/threa ... verstorben.

I'd love to do Knispels KT but I haven't been able to find decent pics that I know for sure of his tank. Kinda frustrating when you do a search and most of the search results are of model kits built by others who say it's Knispels KT.

Anyone who has any REAL info on Knispels KT that'd be great!

I would love to do 424 but it being a panther A throws a spanner in the works.

Maybe this link will give you a start, Jack. It's in Czech (and I only speak german and a little french...so).. but, I think the pictures speak for themselves. It's an homage if nothing else

I may have to see if I can find any of the books listed there, no decent pics of his tank, a couple but not that great.

But I do thank you very much for the lead.

I found a picture with Kurts regiment hes not in shot but all the King Tigers are the same so its very close, I will hunt it down as Ive looked at so many sites and post a link, a few weeks after the picture was taken he was killed in action, Steve.

Hi guys ok hope this link works this is the picture of Kurt Knispels tank regiment in a proproganda picture about two weeks before he was killed in action you can't see his tank but he's in the formation somewhere, as the tanks look all in the same camouflage scheme it will be as close as you will get his tank number is 334 according to a tank aces website.https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php? ... -tiger-2h/
