In just over a week we will be leaving to attend Intermodellbau in Dortmund.

Mark has been working hard completing the Sdkfz 251 prototype and also a chassis to show the internals of the model.

Hi Dennis

Yes we have it running around. It turns well on concrete and hard surfaces, just like an all wheeled vehicle. Turning is a little slower on grass, but way better than the SDKFZ7 or the M2/M3 halftracks. Top speed is good and battery life seems very good so far.

Hope all goes well in Germany, would have liked to have been there again this year but it clashes with another event.

Knupfer are really helpful. The only problem is that their website does not currently have the United Kingdom or Britain as a country, so I use Germany as a default. They have spotted that Oxford is not in Germany and have sent my order to Vereinigtes Königreich without fail. The stamps on the packet are always good!

First of all congratulations for the exceptional work.

I purchase from Knupfer many years: their availability and professionalism are unmatched, and the choice and quality of their products is impressive.
To communicate with them even I used Google translator, because I do not know the German: never had any problems. :wink:
