Hello I know that this forum is not normally for factory finished models, but I just had to show you my latest purchase. It is a 1:16 scale, remotely controlled Panzer III. It is a big boys toy, and I am just a big boy, so when I spotted this beast in the model shop, I just knew that I had to have it. The tank commander has good detail, but I am going to repaint the figure, in more correct colours. The tank itself needs some weathering. I had just got the tank out of the box, when I took the pictures, so the markings have not been applied yet. The light from my camera, makes the colour of the tank, look lighter than it really is. I hope you like my new pet. Snoopy

Hello Mike The only thing I know for certain about these lamps, is that they are approved by the Luftwaffe, and that at least one of my lamps, was found at the german airfield Haslemoen, in Norway. I have never seen any documentation, regarding these lamps, other than what I was told by the man, that I got it from. The lamp is marked with the Luftwaffe "FL." number, and should for that reason be mentioned, in a "FL." number inventory list, but I have never seen one of these lists. I agree that these lamps could have been used around fuel dumps, and for other purposes. On an uneven grass grass airfield, they would probably be difficult to get to stand up straight. Keep me posted, if you find more information, about these lamps. I would be grateful. All the best Snoopy

Hello I will post some more models, when I come home from my holiday. Snoopy

Hello Thank you very much. Snoopy

Hello Mike This is a close up of the "BAL" marking, on one of my lamps. Alle the best Snoopy

Hello Mike These lamps are stamped, with the "Betriebs amt Luftwaffe", and the Luftwaffe catalogue nummber "Fl. 56211". I guess mechanic's could have used them, but I have allways heard them described as lamps used for marking emergency landing strips. I have never seen this theory confirmed in any wartime manuals, or contemporary books, so I guess they could have been used for other purposes allso, but they are most definately approved by the Luftwaffe. I own two of these lamps, and they are both Luftwaffe approved. All the best Snoopy

Hello Paul Nice to hear, that you got it back. It certainly belongs in your collection. It must be a quite rare sleeve eagle. Snoopy

Hello Paul Thank you very much. I have seen a few police HBT tunics for sale on the internet. They have been unissued tunics, without the sleeve eagle. I have a few more police items, that I will post, as soon as I have photographed them. All the best Snoopy

The arm badge from my HBT tunic. Snoopy

Hello Hendrik Thank you. I have now corrected the typos. All the best Snoopy

Congratulation, that's a really nice photo. I like it a lot. Conserning the navy pilot's badge. Have you seen my miniature of the Marine See flieger abzeichen that I have posted in this forum? I don't know how to make a link to my post, but it's called "Flieger abzeichen miniature". Snoopy

This is the issue of Signal, where you can find this page. I hope that it has been of some interest. Snoopy
