Hello Scott, Sorry for the late replay. I'm very busy and have less time for checking my files. Enclosed a picture form the manual of the Kfz 305/108: I guess you mean room number 4? In this case, behind door number 5 was a storage compartment too. Best Regards Guenter

Hello Scott,
<I deleted some information, because after some research I'm in doubt if you did mean the external extension on front of the Koffer or the forward entrance door on the right side as entrance to a storage compartment?>
Regarding the 305 with the special railing on the roof: This is no Kfz 305, because the distance between door and windows is too large. This is Wehrmacht Funkkoffer. Unfortunately I've no information about this item, because I'm only collecting Luftwaffe airfield ground equipment. I'll ask Reinhard Frank asap.
Best Regards Guenter

Hello!
there were more than 100 versions of the Kofferaufbau. Unfortuntely this cutout is to small to determine the exact version.

Hallo Spaltring,
could you please post some more information about your A330?
E.g. frame-number and engine-number?
The A330 is identical with the A3000. The name was changed after Magirus became KHD.
Regards Guenter

Hello!
Inside the engine compartment of the Opel Blitz, on the right side of the of the firewall, near the engine is a holder for an oil can.
Some time ago a had a picture, but unfortunately it is gone sine I replaced my PC with new one time time ago.
Does anyone have a picture showing the oil can in place?
Many Thanks in advance!
Best Regards Guenter

Hi Wille,
it is a socalled "Werkzeugkiste für Geräte und Sonderwerkzeuge" (Toolbox for equipment and special tools) for an aircraft.
Could you please occassionaly post pictures that show the middle area of the open front side, especially the slide rails. This could help to determine the type of the aircraft.
Is there a hinge band at the bottom?
Best Regards Guenter

Hi!
The construction, especially the rivets and the bracing indicate it is a part from the Luftwaffe. Making the bracing requires special tools only available in plane factories.
This is a part belongs either to the handling equipment of a plane or is a special airlift case. Unfortunately I have only a small selection maintenance handbooks for planes and cannot identify it yet.
Best Regard Guenter

Hi,
thanks!
With 30mm holes my idea is wrong.
I've seen similar parts with 40mm resp. 50mm holes used as protective cap s for draw bar couplings. But this is not possible with 30mm holes.
Best regards Guenter

Hello Nick,
your summary is very good and accurate!
Two additions:
1. In 1944 the of Dunkelgelb (RAL 7028) was changed and was now a little bit darker. The reason was a better camouflage against areal pictures. Soon afterwards the composition of the pigments was once more changed for a better camouflage against newly introduced night-vision glasses. But it is unclear if this change was widely used before the end of the war.
2. For Luftwaffe vehicles used 1941-1943 (and not 1945!): Grau (RAL 7019). Now the color was matt in all cases! Existing vehicles having other colors than Grau were repainted. In 1943 the Luftwaffe changed to Dunkelgelb (RAL 7028) too! Existing vehicles were repainted according to the avialability of the color. In frontline areas up to 99%
Best Regards Guenter
P.S. A detailed lecture about Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe colors is scheduled for November 28th, 2009 in the townhall of Oberschleissheim (Schleissheim Airfield) near in Munich/Germany. More later this year.
