Warlord have just released (or re-released, if it came from a range that they had acquired) a Kfz.13:

To convert one into a Kfz.14, which radio set(s) should be installed, and where? Of course, the frame antenna would be a challenge.

There were 3 radio units setup on a shelf at the rear of the vehicle, orientated roughly in an arc. The machine gun seat was replaced with a simple seat facing to the rear of the vehicle. I could not find out what radios specifically were in it, however…

Thanks, Damon! Have you ever come across a diagram of the Kfz.14's interior?

Also, would you know how the two Kfz.13s of a patrol would have communicated with the patrol's Kfz.14? Did the Kfz.13s also have (short-range) radios, or was their role mainly to protect the Kfz.14?

No but I've seen scale models and a few photos:

Looks like there might actually only be two radios, not three.

I think that I should get one of those for Pulp games.
