Does anyone have a fuller pic of this type of headset - which I’m assuming is used in Spz and tanks alike?
I’m really keen to see if there was a securing band - for want of a better word - on the rear. - or did it just rest on the head as it was? I believe this type still utilised throat microphones - just visible in the photo.
Any help gratefully appreciated as I’m in the middle of converting figures - again.
Thanks Hermann, that will do nicely I think.
Thanks again.
You are welcome my friend.
Well, I think I’m more or less on the right lines:
The Driver figure for my M48A2GA2 project. What? You didn’t know about that? Well, flushed with success (more or less!) of my USAREUR version, recently completed, I thought I’d pursue the species a bit further, with the German 105mm version:
Aaaand, ready to install in my M48A2GA2:
The beret still looks a bit shiny but that’s due to the lighting I’m afraid; now, on with the build!
Panzertruppen usually wear the black beret, as do the Panzeraufklärer.
Not in this case Hermann; my model will represent an M48A2GA2 from Jaegerbataillon 531, the crews of which wore the Jaeger beret.
You’ll have to get up early to catch out Mrs Stoddart’s little boy!
Never mind Dave - all grist to the mill!
Count me in Brian.Chair pulled up and Opera glasses close at hand.Great start.

Ah, that’s caught me out a bit Richard; I wasn’t planning on formulating an article as a project as such; after all, most constructional aspects are the same as my US version. Hmmm. I’ll have to think a bit.
OK; I’ve now initiated a bespoke thread “Bundeswehr M48A2GA2 - Revell 1/35 c.1987” God help me(!)
Hermann, just to check as I’m about to start the rest of my M48’s crew; did the SEMS set-up have any securing strap (to say, wrap around the chest) to support the control box (for want of a better description). From your pics and the others it appears not. Presumably it was just held in place by the supporting straps from the neck?
I just wanted to confirm before I start scratch-building the set-up.
Brian, I simply don´t know, I need to check the net myself. Those SEM are configurations are little before my time. 
Thanks Hermann; if you can come up with something I’d be very grateful. No rush I assure you. I just want to get as right as I can.
Brian, I found this:
BW Sprechfunkzubehör SEL SEM35 (SEM25) B | blau, UNO | Ergänzungssatz 5 ohne Rucksack SEM25 | 724011-35-011
Might fill your needs?
If there’s not, then all well and good, and I assume therefore it was just suspended by the straps around the neck. Not a great problem, I just want to get it right before I start work on the 2 figures.
FYI Here is the TM of the Fahrzeug Sprechfunkanlage SEM25/35.
