Any New Interest in a 1/18 scale Sdkfz 223 ?

Post by pickelhaube » Fri Nov 26, 2010 10:03 pm

Nothing like getting ahead of myself but I have a resurgancy of Sdkfz 222 orders to surface and I think that I may just go ahead with the 223 version.

It will be a month or so off though.

I will finish up the T-34 and then do the 105 Howie.

Then the 223

I made my 222 after the Tamiya model and the 223 will be the same.

The 223 will have;

1. Jerry cans on the front rather than the air bottles
2. Large antenna
3. Smaller turret
4. Reconfigured upper deck
3. Exposed spare tire
4. Single mg 34
5. Expsosed wheels ( no triangle armor plates )

I do not think that I will make the airial collaspe just static.

The price should be the same about $250 maybe a little cheeper because the turret may have a few less parts.

Any interest ?

I for one would love to but 2 birthdays and Christmas approaching doesn't make it look like it'll be before next year.

Pickel, the 223 sounds like a great idea. But at this time I'm saving for the last payment on the T-34 and Christmas.
How about a poll...... Yes another famous Pickel Poll..... :D on projects for the New Year. Keep the customs coming Pickel, 2011 should be a hell of a year for you and some of the other 1:18th custom guys here on the forum.
