I don't know how far you've got with the panzer but what about one of these as another option:
They are pioneer vehicles but are fully armoured and of about the correct size. No reason why you can't stick a 42 on top. 
only problem is the height
the base machine is too high. 
but thanks anyways

Decided I need an alternative to 50 round MP40 so I dug this out of the loft - StG-44 look-a-like for the December game:-
Cool, plan to convert it at all? I think you might need some more magazines though.

No plans for conversion(since it's on the 'accepted' CiA list, I need to keep it as an AK for my NVA loadout) - I did have an HK-33 and one of warren's StG-44 front-ends years ago, but sold it to che 
Not sure if he finished it?
As for Mags - heh, actually I ordered a box last night - some of the ones I have are prone to miss-feeding 
- I might sell them to Barrie for his Bren 
Is there anyone else yet to book up for the December game? My mate (and co-incidentally my lift up there!) wants to sign up for the Allies, but there are no more spaces available until we get two more Axis.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Helga's not signed up - think she's trying to find someone to look after the children.
They can come as civvies / HJ!

Sounds like a plan to me! Maximum firepower will be required, I don't want to be outgunned by the Thompson brigade!
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
Well, I've just taken delivery of an unused MP40 with the Fire Support upgrade - tight barrel, proper hop, etc, so I'm really itching to see how it performs!

My new box of AK-47 Midcaps have turned up today - replacements for the KA ones that have had issues.

Nice! You should make yourself a hicap for it. I made one just for the upcoming game, so I can have that on my MP40, plus 6 locaps in my pouches, giving me the 600 round limit.
I know it's herecy to talk about hicaps but I don't want to be outgunned in any shape or form, nor to make any excuses about "thompsons and their hicaps"after the game.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
Heh, I'll see what peeps make of these mid-caps. I go to open days with my lo-caps against the M249 box mag brigade, but I've never felt outgunned to be honest. A few ghey Thompsons won't get me down.... possibly!

My ICS AK74 seems to have a very very good range, it just james every now & then, I have even swapped the whole gearbox & motor & its still does it, it can run for 3000 rounds than suddenly jam, if I take the motor off it clears it, very strange,

im really wanting to use my dboys again
the practical side says take my ak as well
but i think ill use one of my mp40s and just put a 9.6v battery on it
ive got 7 mags, and 5 speedloaders so i should be ok (though i wont carry all 5 as id be over the ammo limit)
i think a few ak`s would be good, but if we all take em into the field the allies will whine about 600 rd high caps 
(even though id use a mix of 7 mid/standard caps)

Maybe we won't need the AK firepower, if we've got the MGs - if we slaughter them using AKs, then they're bound to start complaining!

I think I'll stick with the trusty M14 for this one. It may not have the most firepower as it will be limited to semi-auto but thats not really my style anyway. I may have to spend a little to make sure its achieving its full potenial though. I'd also like to get it looking somewhat G43ish but I don't think I'll get very far in time.
