pickelhaube · Post by **pickelhaube** » Sun Jan 17, 2010 3:24 pm

Does the world need a Sdkfz 223 ?

It is the command vehical.

It is quite different than the 222. The overall body is the same but there are some major changes

1.The eyebrow over the driving compartment is bigger.
2. Radio ant rack
3.Smaller turret w/mg 34
4. No over head basket just a flat screen cover.

Hear are some pics of a 1/35 scale when I started the 222

I caught a glimps of one of these in "Band of Brothers" It cuts across a field durring a German armored assault sequence during the battle of the buldge. It's has a molted Winter Camo scheme

Hi PH

Sorry for hijacking your thread - but have you ever considered doing the turret protection for the Humvee?

That would be a cool feature to the displays

Like this one

Yes I have and I would like to do it. But I posted this mod a while ago and the idea died on the vine do to lack of interest .

I think that it will be a cool mod to do.

Has the interest increased on this ?

PH - I would be VERY interested

It would be such a cool feature

I'm also interested in the Humvee turret shield. Hopefully more members will chime in.

Maybe is there a way you could adapt your Pavehawk Miniguns for a humvee? As of now, I dont think there are any non-TOW humvees out by BBI or 21c? Besides the cargo and super humvees of course.

If you could make a Humvee MG mount that could fit in the ring of the 21c Humvee, that would be fantastic! I would get one if the piece could be non-intrusive, meaning that it could be inserted onto the existing vehicle without alterations. You could even design the piece to fit one of the Bravo Team or BBI .50 guns to save on tooling costs.

Do you guys have any pics ?

Ok so nobody is down with a 223 .

Only 3 guys interested in the Humvee turret moving on.

I guess this goes back on idea junk pile , again.

Maybe start a new thread just for the Humvee turret. There has to be some confusion with a thread title like this one!

Hi PH

Did you decide whether you are going to do a turret for the Humvee or drop the idea?

Actually I have been sooooooo busy trying to fill orders but I have saved an hour each day to work on this.

I am making 2 versions one with turret ring and .50 cal shield and one with the plain 4 sided turret.

I have the shield made with pintel and the turret is roughed in. I spent all of today working on the turret ring .

This is what I am trying to emulate.

If I get some time I will try to post some progress pics.

aeo178 · Post by **aeo178** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 7:58 pm

I looked at your ebay link awsome job. Would you be able to do a 1/18 scale version like the pics on the hummvee

fly-dk · Post by **fly-dk** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 11:34 pm

COOL

Looking forward to seeing it

THANK YOU!!!!!!
My BBi humvee hates TOWs

That would be a cool upgrade for the Humvees. Ever thought about doing an up-armored kit (doors, plates, a/c unit, etc) for the Humvees and if there is any interest?

Well here you go guys.The prototype is done. Just a little tweaking and we should be good to go.

I made the BBI turret ring to fit on the 21st.
