Toldi tank production
Does anyone have at least an approximate number of Toldi tanks and tank destroyers built? TIA

From AFV News, Vol. 21, No. 3 "Toldi, A Brave Litle Warrior" by Giuseppe Finizio, I have an aproximate figure of :
Toldi I-II: 190
(number plates H-301 to H-380 and number plates H-381 to H-490)
Toldi III: 12 (Number plates H-491 to H-502) and, possibly a further 30 asssembled from spare parts (H-503/533)
The Toldi IIa, the nine armored ambulances and the tank hunter on the Toldi chassis were all modifications of existing vehicles, nt new production. This article only covers the vehicles inservice with the Honved, I believe. Hope it helps.

Hi Orok
From AFV News, Vol.21, No. 2, Hungarian Armor registration System by John Baumann, page 4:
"In all a total of 111 38s (a few Model F, but mostly Model Gs) were purchased with registration plates from 1HU725 onwards to 832 for the standard tanks (108) and 1 HU876-78 for the three command tanks."
I hope this helps.
Best Regards, David

Thanks David,
I really owe you a HUGE favor for this!
If the same article mentions the 22 PzKpfw IV F1s, please also give me their plate numbers. When I finished the 2 38(t)s (one Italeri, one Maquette) at hand, I'll do a Tamiya PzKpfw IV F1 for the 6th Heavy Company, 30/II Battalion, 30 Tank Regiment of the Hungarian 1. Field Armored Division in Russian in 1942.
Thank you again for your help!

Same article Orok,
"In May 1942 22 Panzer IVs were supplied (Model D and F1s)Known registrations are: 1HU833-854. ...In September 1942 a further 8 Panzer IVs (Model F2s were delivered, (from 10) this continued the run from 1HU855 to 862."
(Note that I copied the last sentence exactly as it appears in the article)
I hope this helps Orok.

No problem Orok, I sort of collected information on Honved armored vehicles after I sprang for an expensive resin kit of the Zrinyi.

Here's a picture of the completed kit--not my work--from the Iron Shipwright website:

Thanks David for the link and picture. I am going to buy one later. I am now focusing on the 1942 Russian campagn of the 2. Magyar Hadsereg. At that time there was still no Zrinyi!
I personally think the design of Zrinyi was very advanced at its time. It's a shame that the Hungarians did not get better engines and guns for it.
Thanks again and Best Regards!
