Tow Tractors/ APU /Federal German Navy

[DERKSNL]

Dear Readers,
My Brequet BR.1150 Atlantic FGN is finished and it turned out very well. Revell Germany deserves a big compliment for bringing this (collector item) on the market. The only item that needed special care was the wrap around German Flag decal. Now the display of the model is deserving some more attention.

I want to add a tow tractor and an Auxiliary Power Unit.
What was (is) the tow tractor, used to move the Atlantic on it's home base.What kind of APU is used by the FGN Air Arm.

Comments and if possible some pictures regarding this subject would be very welcome.
Also some information regarding the possibility, if these items are available in the same scale.
The Atlantic is build in the scale 1/72 (Revell)

Highest Regards,
Dirk Derks

Dirk Derks aus den Niederlanden hat die oben gezeigte Brequete Atlantic fertiggestellt und moechte sie jetzt gerne mit einem Flugzeugschlepper und einem APU verfeineren. Er bittet um Bilder und Hinweise welche Gerate von der Marine seinerzeit benutzt wurden.
Das Model ist in 1:72 und er bittet auch um Hinweise wo er die entsprechenden Modelle erhalten kann.

als Schlepper ginge ein typischer Schopf in kleiner Variante,
( dann war sie halt gerade bei Dornier zur Überholung )

Hello Atlantic Astronaut,
Thanks for your assistance regarding the tow tractor from the FGN Air Arm. Interesting to note, that there is not one picture to show from the German Navy.
But now I can search more specific.
I also asked the Marineflieger Museum in Nordholz for some assistance.
Again, thanks for your help.

Hello Viking,
Thank you so much for your assistance. I have the APU in 1/72 scale from Revell.
Have to see about the Schopf Schlepper.
Highest Regards,
Dirk / The Netherlands.

There is also a Unimog Doppelkabine from Planet Models. That should also fit.

Hello Norboo,
Thanks for that. I have ordered it about five minutes ago. Expensive little gem. It will show up on the diorama.
I have registered at the BR1150 forum. MPA's has my full attention.
I am searching for the Schopf Schlepper in 1/72 scale.
Regards, Dirk.

I did find a good comparison to the Schopf Schlepper. Not available in scale 1/72.
I think I will go for the B-450 (Aerotech) that looks a lot like the Schopf.
It is manufactured by the UK firm Aircraft in Miniature GE72015 (Future release)
Regards,
Dirk
