Lucien Harpress Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hey guys. I'm not really an armor guy, but my Academy Bf 109 kit came with a Kettenkrad, and I finally got around to putting it together. I don't plan on spending a WHOLE lot of time on it, but I got to wondering- I generally know these were used for towing (be it field guns or airplanes) and whatnot, but were any of them ever equipped with any kind of mounted machine gun for the guy in the back? I figure I could scratch something up and make the kit "mine", rather than right out of the box. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 There is this: Kettenkrad armed but it's in a museum so who knows if it was an actual configuration or someone's imagination. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucien Harpress Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Yeah....I was thinking something like one machine gun. Four seems a bit.... excessive. I've seen this before. Again, it's a modern interpretation, lacking period authenticity: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/152/5/f/Kettenkrad_by_shelbs2.jpg I've seen that mount on other kettenkrads as well, sans any kind of gun. 'course, I don't know what versions had this, or what it was used for (exactly). I'm a flying-thingy kind of guy- when it comes to this ground stuff I am COMPLETELY lost.
