Machining/Modifications.

Post by Simon Peck »

Hi.
Does anyone know or can you point me in the direction of someone who might be able to help with some alterations? I have a 222 kit and would like to re-profile the wheels, but I don't have the machinery required. Of course I am happy to pay.
Many thanks.
Simon.

Hi Lee.
The wheels as supplied are kind of 'flat' in appearance and the originals had a raised 'bump' close to the rim. Also later model 222's had a circular hub protruding from the middle. I'd like to replicate that if possible. You can see what I'm after if you go to the Panzerwerk web site and find the Sdkfz 222/223 Wheel Late. Also I want to cut the slit on the right hand side of the turret for the sights, but don't trust my skills with a hack saw to get a real straight line. There are a couple of other bits as well, but we can discuss later if you think you can help?
Thanks for the response.
Simon.
