Brigade Commander
Panzerkampfwagen I “104”
1.Company HQ group
I. Battalion/25th Panzer Regiment
7th Panzer Division ( The "Ghost" Division )
XV Panzerkorps (Hoth)
May 1940
The tank is from Mardon Callanta/Panzerwerk with some additional detailing (with parts from Mike Stannard (tow rope, wire cutters, shovel, small axe, antennae, fire extinguisher, “S” shackle and crank handle) and Panzerwerk (jack, Notek light and a small headlamp) and painting.
The decals are from John’s Stuff.The headlamps that came with the tank looked to large, so I used one of the side head lamps as the main center headlamp, replaced one side headlamp with a US headlamp from Panzerwerk and replaced the left side small headlamp with a Notek light. Using other lamps as moulds, I made two covers with cloth which I painted with white glue. Once dry I made the rectangular openings and cut the sides. Then removed from the piece used as mould and placed in the headlamps on the tank. I then painted and weathered them a bit.
7 Pz Dv markings for France were used (inverted Y with three dots). I have plenty of references that red numbers with white outlines were used in France in the 7th Pz Dv. I will also use this vehicle with my other 7PzDv vehicles in a later time frame, I imagine it was not impossible for the old divisional insignia to be present in some vehicles in the 1941 summer offensive. The Divisional insignia for the 1941 time frame was a right side up “Y”. A mixture of glue , sand dirt and water was applied to undercarriage and then painted with airbrush, washes and dry-brushing.The whole vehicle had washes, some drybrushing, dustings with the airbrush and some graphite and gun metal applied to represent exposed metal from wear.Some rust effect here and there too.
