OK I have been thinking of the next full project. With all of my options out there I have decided to do a Sdkfz 222/223.

Here is the compition. IF YOU CAN GET IT . IT HAS BEEN SOLD OUT FOR A WHILE . THAT TELLS YOU HOW POPULAR THIS THING IS.

http://shop.xion.de/SDKFZ-222/223-and-A ... 22::1.html

It is selling for $ 329 Euros . That is $411 U.S. dollars in todays exchange rate.

I will start this if there is enough interest . THE COST EST. WILL BE $300-$325. This is a big ticket item . I will take deposits on it NOW. The more deposits I get MAY DRIVE DOWN THE COST. I never take preproduction costs but this may take some time to do. THAT IS WHY I AM ASKING FOR FRONT MONEY.

If the cost is too much I will do a few simpiler customs that I have slated to do. Again the 1/16 compition is over $400 . So for $300 you can have your own in our beloved scale.

5 deposits will get this ball rolling. IF I GET OVER 10 DEPOSITS I WILL DROP THE PRICE TO $275 . BUT I NEED OVER 10 DEPOSITS .

The wheels have been started and the plans are laid out . Who is ready ? :D

AFERGUSON IT YOU THINK THAT THIS IS UNAPROPIATE FEEL FREE TO DELEAT.

Seems to be a lot of response on this !!

I forgot to mention that you do not have to give me the full amount at this time. $100 deposit will get you in the door and on the list.

Cool but it isn't 1/18 scale :wink: Plus the 1/16 is still more at $299 Euros that is about $375 American.

If I get up to 10 guys who wants one then price will drop to $275 American

Hey Rouge,

I will make them out of resin.

OK

There are 4 guys stepping up to the plate so far.

You guys have been wanting this vehical for years now . Now is the time to anty up. Don't let this chance slip away.

This will probably be the only way you will see a Sdkfz 222/223 in 1/18 scale.

With all of the doom and gloom going on about will 1/18 scale live on. Here is the proof it will. Now it is up to the COLLECTOR to keep this scale alive.

The projects are being made . I have made polls . I have listend . This 222 is just one of the MANY 1/18 custom full builds and custom mods that I plan to do.

I realize that the price may be a bit high but lay away does help so I will drop the deposit to $50. You guys who have paid the $100 already . Thank you and you that much more farther ahead.

So , 2 more guys and this will become a reality.

[+] 222 / 223

I had the poll on the Puma but that kind of got shot down with the 222 being more popular.

But never say never.
