Yves sdkfz 251 update

[Uwe Gerstenmayer]

Hello Yves,

some nice info and pics , small but still good enough to get an idea, is on Piet van Hees website about the 251 with a PAK40.

When you open the site scroll down a bit and have a look at the "period pictures".

Hello,

Working on the pak 40, was a little bit cutting to do on the shield,
also cut a part out of the roof.





Best regards Yves

Yves that's going to be cool setup. From the photos in the link it looks like the gun shield was also cut shorter, it doesn't extend below the base of the gun. Hoping to save you cutting away too much of the sides? Perhaps you just have the side of fighting cpt removed temporary. Looking good!



Best regards,
Bob

Hello Robert,
No i didnt not cut the side to mutch, i just cut a little to fit between the the side of the compartiment. The underside of the shield i did not cut for the moment. That i will do tomorrow.
Best egards Yves.

Hello,

Thanks Heiko, about the interior it's not gonna be the same but i do my best
Today i made a bigger turning wheel for the volume.

Nice, interesting build and subject Yves.
I thought that these were only built using the later ausf.D type of 251.

Have you found an example based on the ausf.C or is this a bit of modellers licence?

Looking forward to seeing the completed interior.

Cheers
Tim

Hello Tim,

This is my own creation normaly there was no pak 40 on this model

Today i put some work on the interior ( decals ) not finisch yet but a start.
It was a difficult work the glue the small parts together.
I used plastic for the glass look and some rings from sanitair.
Still need to clean the edges with paint.



Best regards Yves

I really like what you have done so far Yves.
I am also working on a 251/1 ausf.C but mine will be completed as a troop carrier.
Good luck with your build.
Tim
