Sal - at present she is a 251D/1 so we will be mounting 2 MGs on here. 42 front, Whatever we get a mount for on the back (34 or 42) For Swynnerton, we aim to just get her dunkelgelb with crosses. After Swynnerton we will mark her up with numbers, div and tac signs..... Might even camo her...
The other halftrack is earmarked for Welderbeast but if it doesn't come off, then we could turn her into another project. 2 matching SPWs would be cool but think if we did a Flakwagen or a 251/11 with a PaK 40 on it!

Think they're all 251, Ok the Flack and the Stuka are 'A's not 'D's :wink:

Stummel or Flammenwerfer for me...

My mistake then Andy - I thought there were only two crates hung on the side of the last SPW. :oops: I counted the roadwheels (sad git) and there appear to be the correct number! For a 251 that is!

I frist thought it was a 250 - ntothat I know a vast amount about these things, buthte front mudguards look wrong for a 251 as does the front plate with the drivers vision slot. Also I thought the drive sprocket was higher on a 251,

but like I said Im am far from an expert

Sounds superb, I thoroughly appreciate all the hard work that goes into a project like that and you've done it justice. Maybe if if the welder doesn't get it then your variant ideas would be awesome.

Just to see things like that in there real element, rather than at public shows makes a lot of peoples day, Allied and Axis alike 8)

A different variation on the 251 would be great for all to see something different for reenactors, mops and events alike.

Excellent paul lucky buggers :lol:
