Plans of the FIAT 2000

Well, this project is surely moving at a slow pace, as predicted ;-) Here are the first plans of the FIAT 2000, kindly supplied by Hans van Oerle and D. Przezdziecki. Now, with plans kindly sent to me by Libor Matejka of Panzershop in the Czech Republic, we at last have a proper four-view plan of the Fiat 2000. Click here to see this! (But mind you: the page is pretty big!)

As you can see, there are som differences in detail, e.g. the shape of the turret, which is correct in the top plan - see below -, which is also the best one.

This is the front view, taken from an old German book. It shows well the box-like, slab-shaped design of the body of the FIAT, especially the lower part around the tracks. (The shape of the turret seems a bit "iffy", though.) Well, this shouldn't be too difficult to model...? If you want to see the accompanying side view, click here.)

This is a unique plan of the interior of the FIAT 2000. (courtesy of Hans von Oerle: thanks Hans!) Points of interest here is, among other things, the clear view of the position of the engine, transmission shaft and epicyclical gear, and the shape and general arrangement of the turret. Well, now it should be possible to build an interior too!
