Northern friends : mayday ! Freya LZ 401

Hello
All among the Kystfort site, I ve found very interesting view of the FumG 401 Freya LZ’s remains, like in the topic of Tromoy or Dyrland for example
My studies in History and WW2 in particular lead me on the research of the different stellungen in my country; all around Falter above the Rhone Valley, and of course my hobby send me directly on the building in scratch of a Freya in 1.35 scale…
SES of Gyges can prove it (I have several time bother him since 10 years asking some information, encore un grand merci SES!) but original views of details, or only pictures of remains are very scarse on the Net…
I have no hope to find someday the original Anlagen-Handbuch (D.(Luft)T. 4510) of the beast, a lot of point stand for me very aleatorery or assumed…and the worst, I am a “rivet counter”… I cannot build something without the certainty of the real existence of it…
So…If I have a good knowledge of the base of the radar like the four arms, the underside of the cabin, (who is the most common actual remains), I only can guess how was build the cabin and the layouts of the different apparatus and instrument.
My principal problem stay in the mast, and of course all the display of the antenna who stay for me a “terra incognita”, … I ve never found a good view on the differents poles of the IFF for example...
So, if, with the nice day to come, someone can take for me some shots in details of the different wrecks you can find again on your site, it will be a great help for me!
All can be very interesting and welcome in my understanding of the material and to reproduce this lady….
I think also that this radar type stay relatively unknown….the Wurzburg is very well documented in comparison and the compilation of visual information could be the beginning of news questions between us in this board section….
As I work on the model only when I have the real thing identified, this project is very heavy and take his time, and walk like a snail…
Merci beaucoup!
