Much more practical with wheels vs tracks. I look forward to more posts. Great project. I always thought the Sdkfz 222 would be a fun project to do. 4 wheels and lots of plate

Re: Sdkfz251 D RAD 6 really ok just talking outloud
Thanks that would be, here I love those 251s
And just had to have one, I started it out as a
Heavy hot rod. But lost interest, then I saw the
Picture, and started cutting up what I had built
In the past and went full military with all the details. It's on the wheelbase of a 250, but all
251 body que. Getting ready to take out the
V-8 and put in an inline 6 less power and safer as
A grocery getter.

Those Schildkroeten (Turtles), SdKfz 222, 223 are tiny things on the inside, rear mounted engine makes drivetrain a PITA.17thAirborne wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2023 12:27 pmMuch more practical with wheels vs tracks.

Now the SdKfz 247B, 4 Krad Aufklarungswagen, original based on the Horch 1A 4x4, decent wheel base, front mounted engine, enough room to rack out inside, arm it with an MG34 or 42, or even a 2,0 cm FLAK38 or Panzerbuchse 2,8cm (tapered bore) AT Gun, and still fits in your garage.

Got more parts made, twin shovels for back like the B models and pick and flat for other side, ordered large hole wheels to match the SDs side road wheels for looks, with 10 ply Chevron tires also going to build a 7.5 cm short barreled gun with shields. This is going to be a odd duck. Oh well it's fun, and wild, should turn heads going to the grocery store.
