Do you have any pics of the 3/4 tarp painted?
Are both the full and 3/4 20.00 each plus shipping?

No , not yet but I will give a set to Scott so he can do a paint master.

What would you rather see new medium or faded ?

Yep , the same price for each $20 plus about $5-$6 for shipping on average.

$10 extra for fully painted. Per unit.

I can combine shipping

Thanks Razor,

But I was surprised that there was not a lot of interest in me painting these tops.

I have only sold one painted.

I think you have a unique item.
But without a picture of the finished product (Full Top and 3/4 top), it's hard for people to visualize what the item will look like.

Can I see a show of hands for those who are interested in the 251 backdate ?

As I recall this was almost 100% done ready to make molds but got bumped for another project.

I am starting to work with another guys who is a caster and I can very well pass this off to him so he can get the ball rolling as I try and finish the JT project.

Go to page 3 to view the 251 mod.

Hey Pickel, I was interested in the C version.....

[maritime96]

Count me in. I have a halftrack waiting patiently for this mod.

[Jnewboy]

I would love one! and Im sure others would want me to make them some also! I would also like the 3.7cm Pak 36 that many of them had. Grunts Shapeways store has them but they are $75 plus shipping All I need is the gun and the shield not all the rest.

[pickelhaube]

OK , that is 3 guys.

Has the time for this mod come and gone ?

[normandy]

A 251/21 drilling would be cool.....

[exether_mega]

Count me in for two.

[blitzhazed]

What as the price going to be for the 251 backdate kit?

[pickelhaube]

What as the price going to be for the 251 backdate kit?

You know what ? I never gave it much thought .

How does $40-$50 sound ?

In the kit will be :

Clam shell doors
Working hinges
" D " pull handle
Front armor covers
2 tool long boxes
Head lamp and Notec light
Misc pioneer tools
Rear body

[normandy]

Matthew, I'll start with 2 kits.....I have to see how many 251's I've horded.


I like this picture....

[1958Zelda]

I'm good for 2

[grockwood]

I will take one for now. I am not sure how many 251's I have that may need back dating.

[pickelhaube]

Here is the old 251 post , might as well keep using it.

Man look at all of the votes when people were interested in 1/18 looks like most of these guys have moved on.

Doing my best to keep this hobby alive.

2 kits to start with from me

[maritime96]

Some advice Mathew, Many people wont mix armor scales when it comes to tanks and we all know its for good reason- but, many 1/16 collectors including myself still collect soft skin stuff like trucks and cars in 1/18 because the size is less and less noticeable as you get to smaller and smaller stuff as we all know. This is also the case for these halftracks. Many 1/16 collectors still collect these Sd.Kfz 251s so maybe you should reach out to the 1/16 community also and let them know you will be making these custom kits.

I will take one of any of these kits you make as I will never switch out my halftracks and smaller stuff like I did the actual armor, if any they make my armor that much more impressive!

I'll take two for now Matthew.

[pickelhaube]

I had a chance to pull out the 251 backdate and gave it a once over to see what it lacks before finishing.

I need to make the left and right head light supports
rework the Notek support
mount pioneer gear
make a pick ax

This thing is real close to finishing !!!
