First, sorry if you have already seen this, I have posted it in a couple other places.
A back burner project for some time has been Kursk in 6mm. Over the years, I have worked generally on miniatures and bits for a large Kursk battle, though have never found the sort of info on Russian defenses that I really need to build the battlefield.
Obviously, I will be playing only a small window of the overall battle, but I want to make highly detailed terrain, modular foam (probably 2'x2' panels) terrain. Possibly such that the table will or could "scroll" as the battle progresses. I have a number of sources, mostly overall, grand tactical sort of texts, and descriptions of the method and conceptual design of the defenses, but most of the info conveys just that. Enough info to understand how the defenses worked, but not a description of how it actually looked, no materials, construction methods, specific entrenchment/bunker/emplacement designs.
I am a terrain nut, really enjoy the modeling part of it, and want to at least make it look like Russian defenses at Kursk, not just "representative of a defensive position for the table top". So, can anyone suggest sources that have a few really good (informational) photos of defensive positions, (or better yet), lots of photos, renderings, birds eye views, aerial photos (it is good to dream), Soviet designs, topographical maps, etc.?
Also, what is your favorite book(s) or sources otherwise about Kursk?
Many thanks, I greatly appreciate any suggestions.
