Can anybody supply,or point me in the right direction, for good, concise information/photos on Kfz 70 radio van interiors? I have a couple of photos in the WWP Productions 'Radio for Wehrmacht' book but they aren't all that useful TBH. I have the ICM set that contains two of these beasties and I want to foray into scratch-building the guts for a diorama I have in mind.
I know there was a full resin interior produced by a Russian company some years ago but I'm reluctant to funnel funds in that direction! (If somebody has an unused/unwanted example I will gladly pay full price and postage), hoping somebody can help!

Hi Steve,

Do you mean ICM's Kfz. 72 radio vans from Henschel and Krupp? Is your kit # DS3509?

Prost

Well yeah, as the Kfz. 70 was a different vehicle all together. I don't have anything in my references that could help you out. There is a modeler on Missing lynx who scratchbuilt a full interior in his Henschel 33 D1 radio van. I searched for his build blog, but came up empty. His name is Ron Lebert. You might want to drop him a mail or search over there too. I did find his Sd. Ahn. 24 generator build though. I hope this helps a little....

I’ve sent a message to someone who builds a lot of German radio vehicles on another forum, to see if he might know. I’ll keep you posted about what he replies.

Thanks Allen, my mistake in wrongly numbering the vehicle as I also have a Kfz 70 radio car to build (c/w mounted despatch rider). Will try to track down Ron Lebert,thanks again.

Ron did amazing scratch work, but got involved in 1:1 home improvement & haven't heard a peep since.
