Hi John
Good to hear from you.
I have the Tamiya kit from days gone by plus a resin kit from Mr models in Germany a fantastic add on to convert the 251/1 to a 251/8 plus 250 photos i took at the tank museum on the last open day and the book is panzer tracks 15/2.
All the above are my first go to for information.
All the rest are for help information and anything else I cant find.
The model kit from CM is quite good for reference also.
Also lots of reference pitches on Pinterest and I must mention Lee Archer from panzerwreacks for all the info he had on the 251/8.
Have a great holiday

Keek safe

Steve

Good evening guys

Well it's been a little while since my last update on the 251 after building the Bailey bridge.
To start with my RC went down after reading lots of the forum on electronics scratching my head and the odd nip of whisky or ten I still could work it out.
So true to form Armortek came to the rescue and kian is going to have a look at it for me.
That's what you call outstanding customer service thank you kian.
So in the meantime the little fella and myself have been making some of the bits and pieces to fit the inside and hang the stretchers on.
The basic parts have been made and the final parts will be finished off on assembly.
