Sdkfz 247 !!!

pickelhaube · Post by **pickelhaube** » Sun Jun 13, 2010 2:52 pm

Check this out. I have never heard of this Cammand Car in the German arsenal. THEY ONLY MADE ABOUT 58 OF THEM !!!According to George Bradford , he is the guy who makes all of the scale drawings.

They even made a 6 wheel version. Early war time.

They were used by some super elite SS divisions as well as some elite Motorcycle divisions as well. This would look cool next to the hoards of Indy sidecars out there

It looks to be kind of like a cross between a Hanomag and a Sdkfz 222.

Closer to the 222.

Any interest in 1/18 scale ?

That's a first for me, pretty neat looking vehicle.

Nice vehicle but I think so many other things we need in 1/18 before this. How difficult would it be to do a GMC 6X6 truck? I would reaaly like one of these. The dodge Ultimate soldier trucks are so fragile they break looking at them. A T-34 tank would also be great. I have grunts pack howitzer but some other U.S. artillery would be great. A 5cm Pak 38 would be awesome. Just some ideas. I am sure a scratch build would cost more than most peoples budgets.

not to mention that with a minor mod you can then stick a flakvierling on one. Make a 37mm aa gun and you've got a third piece.

You know, after thinking about it for a while this is pretty cool looking and I need some more support & soft-skinned type vehicles. Might be the only opportunity to have one!

How many have expressed wanting one?

I bumped this up so I would not have to dig for it.

I am interested if you offer prebuilt and painted. Looks good. Have you seen the custom built 1/6 247 on SAG. Museum piece.

these show up often in the "rare panzers" books. the six wheel one is based on the Krupp Box (KFZ 69). Not high on my 1/18 list.

I like the Command armor car,but i am more interested in very commonly seen armor that is not available yet.Like a Panzer III or a stug.
If you make this Command vehicle,i will like to get one.

Although an incredible looking piece, i think for the time it will take to make and the price it will command there is much more interesting subject matter you could direct your efforts towards.

If you decide to make this then I will commit for one, I screwed up and did'nt get the 222.

Not to side track or anything, are you still on for the Hanomag doors?, I know the Horten full builds have been overwhelming and I'm sure you need a break from a full build project, just wondering if you will throw some small stuff out.

The 251 line will be after the Horten. I was hoping to try and fit the 251 project in with the Horten but that was wishful thinking.

Overwhelming is a good choice of words for the Horten.

BUT I SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL !!!!
