Hello Friends, I have just paid a visit to Baukommando Becker and am happy to post these units with masks and a link. Naturally I am indebted to those who contributed so many units prior to myself and the Lorraine Units are direct modifications from those wonderful units provided last summer by PHCAS. I did add a Lorraine Schlepper 10.5cm leFH18 in AT mode. It should be recognized the Allies frequently mistook the 75mm PaK equipped Schleppers as having 88mm Paks because they were so effective. The unusual FMC 36 and the Hotchkiss units are done with various parts in my files.
As always, everything posted is yours free to use as you see fit, to change, tweek or use in any game or mod.

Someone has requested this Rheinmetall Panther V Skorpian 12.8cm Tank Destroyer be made into an icon unit. This was an actual paper project in 1943 but never built as far as I know. I found some reference material on it and made this unit if anyone wants to use it. I consider it in the same category as the other Waffentragers. So if you want it, it is a direct download from this thread posting, just download and put it in with your other Waffentragers.

Old Timer Panzer General fan. Maybe a Volksturm soldier now. Did they let Volksturm drive Panzers?
I made these sets of French prototypes and paper panzers as I have been interested in them as unit icons for sometime. The ARL 44 is in the size range bulk of a Tiger II and the Renault G1R and BDR G1 (Steel Potato) are in the size range of the Char tanks. Big and bulky. Some of these are theoretical and none saw action of which I am aware. The impressive ARL44 was soon "mothballed" and some relegated to the firing range soon after they went on parade in the early 1950's. All of these tanks had decent and even impressive guns, especially the ARL44.
HERE IS THE DROP BOX LINK FOR THE FRENCH TANKS WITH MASKS:
@ osterhase................thank you and capitanjack for the kudos and appreciation. I will mask the two units for osterhase and put them in this thread. In the meantime, I found a unit I reworked/tweaked while working on the Waffentragers already posted. It is the famous Czech 38(t)A. I also provide a skinned version in Panzer Grey (one of the variations in the skins/thumbnails download just posted). I hope to eventually get around to reworking the Marder series since so many used the Czech 38(t) chassis and wheels.

@ osterhase......Here are your unit icons with masks along with some I made with retouched tracks and wheels designated with the "x" after the unit description. I thought these units were in the group by PHCAS done last summer, but maybe not. Or maybe they are in an older group of masks, but in any case here are new masks.

Here is a little unit that receives or received little attention in PZC probably since it is an early war French AT gun, about the only one they had that would work against the early German tanks. I did not like the way the unit looks in the game, so I tweaked it, especially the wheels. It was a pretty good little AT gun early in the war and against all but the bigger armor it met. These wheels and rims are much more prototypical than the vanilla unit.

One of my favorite units in Panzer Corps is the Panther tank and its variations. Here is a collection of tweaked/modified Panthers A, D, G, F, II and some variants that you may enjoy at your pleasure or change, modify or do whatever you wish with them. If you encounter any problems with the download link, please let me know. For those of you who utilize the DCS mod, I encourage you to have some fun with it on these units as many of them of course look much more impressive on the field of play with the appropriate color/camo theme. Also several have the masks that allow for different colored road wheels to be presented with the unit.

The "rebuild" Panther D has some replacement road wheels of the steel variety and the late version of spark arrestor exhaust units on the rear, slightly different than the usual Panther D.

Panther F. I have taken artistic liberties with this model since it was never put into full production. I have added the various versions of armament KwK versions proposed. The KwK45 L100 7.5cm is totally impractical in real life, but what an awesome penetration power of that type of gun would have on opposing armor is indeed impressive.

The mythical Panther II chassis was larger, heavier, more powerful and a very impressive prototype. It would have been able to take a lot more punishment in battle and deal out a lot more destruction had it been built. The only actual existing version is in the George Patton Museum with a late Model G version chin mantle which is the turret proposed and most likely to have been used on the tank had it been produced. Although commonly depicted having a Schmallturm turret in models, in reality the Schmallturm turrets were not manufactured until after the Panther II project was ended in 1943. But they make impressive versions to look at from a visual standpoint and they could make impressive players in Panzer Corps mods if you wish to do so. The Panther II is a Panther on Steroids and then some. You have the L70 KwK42 7.5cm version and the L71 KwK43 8.8cm versions from which to choose.
