Hanomag Sdkfz 251 with Pak 40

[PaulTRose]

my IPMS branch is having a group build,.....theme is 'halftracks'

i think 3 or 4 of us are doing this rather elderly 251 kit from Tamiya...it was new tool back in 1973!.....but it still seems crisp with no flash......mines going to be towing an anti tank gun........not sure yet what scheme.......i fancy an Afrika Korp but might end up going for a tri colour

Paul,
Count me in for this.

Hi Paul
I will follow this with interest. The Germans seemed to favour half-tracks in WW2 and there were so many types and variations. I like the Afrika Korps idea.

Hi paul

The memories come follding back. i remember this in 1973 - those figures were the bees' knees back then.

My seat is pulled up.

They still were 15 years later, if you couldn’t afford metal or resin figures (like, if you were a secondary school pupil having to buy models from pocket money ).

Two classics that go together beautifully :thumb2:

[Steve Jones]

Nice start Paul. I will join the growing throng if I may. Will you be doing all the figures?

[PaulTRose]

. Will you be doing all the figures?

not planning on any figures :tears-of-joy:

two things i find hard in modelling is masking canopies and painting figures
