I am fortunate because I know many military historians and specialists who have interesting stories to relate. By far the best of them is Mirko Bayerl and the following model is a direct result of the stories written by Mirko and posted on the Internet. My idea was to represent a battle-damaged Panzer IV during the fighting in Hungary in the final throes of the Second World War. I am taken aback by the images and stories emanating from this theatre of operations. I was especially drawn to the idea of representing a white vehicle but with the paint partially washed off. So, with this goal in mind, I began my quest for a project that would fit the idea. It was at this point that my friend Mirko once again became my guide, as he is an authority on all aspects of the bat-t es that took p!ace in, and around Hungary. The result is a mode of a tank manufactured in September 1944 and was assigned to the famous, or infamous SS 'Wiking' Division.
