Hallo Otto,

Perhaps its an idea to research a the history of a specific vehicle and its crew and unit. For example Michael Wittmann or Ernst Barkmann (because much is written about them) and their crews and vehicle (Tiger for Wittmann, Panther for Barkmann) in a particular battle. You could include a model of that vehicle with correct , camo pattern, callsign and unit markings.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Timo

Timo makes a strong case. You might want to talk to Alkan Tolga, as he knows a lot about Ernst Barkmann.

I'll be glad to help you with any question regarding a Panzer...
