Just bought this and I LOVE it! Can someone tell me where the extra bench fits? Also what fits on the clips on the rear passenger side? Any help?

The bench doesn't really seem to have a place to go as far as I remember and the clips on the side are where the panzerschrek went on the original basic 251.

Same here, checked a few reference books and I can't figure where that bench section goes, anyone else have any ideas?

This is all I have on the 251/22. Not sure what it's all about.

I used the print above to do a custom job several years ago. I sold it on ebay and found the 21st century 251/22 on the shelf in walmart about a year later. :D

That is sort of where I've though about putting that ammo crate/bench on my halftrack.

With the first post, I agree that the Pak-40 Hannomag is a great little vehicle 8)

BLACKSNAKES,

Is that a picture of the 21st or your custom?, the interior seems different than mine.

My ammo crate/seat will not fit in that area. Also does anyone have a photo of the panzerschrek mounted on the side.

If you remove the door on the rectangular ammo magazine sitting below the gun, the crate/seat will fit :wink:

ram04, that is the custom I did (both photos)

It is different than the 21st

Even with the door on the ammo bin off, mine still won't fit, seems likely that my ammo bin has been attached farther back than others.

I may look into trying to detach it and move it forward.

Oh, by the way, forgot to mention that is a very impressive custom, nice work.

ram04, the ammo bins on the 21st ones were mounted to far back. Take a look at the print I posted earlier, and at a top view of the custom job I did. Now you can see where 21st made an oops. Thanks for the compliment. I know the paint sucks, but I suck at painting :lol:

Yeah, you can see the difference, guess I'll try to move mine, I'm sure its the one piece that they put on with the most glue :roll:

Nope! It looks just like my 21st

One more question, as far as the panzerschrek being stored on the outer hull, I was wondering if instead they would have had a ram to clean the gun with mounted there.

Not sure, I can't find any photos with either mounted on the hull.

Wheres the Hanomag experts? At least point me to a good resource, the internet is lacking, at least what I can find.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Nice idea to store a cleaning ram there on the hooks.

I was talking about the 1/18th 21st version storing the panzerschreck on the side where the two hooks are. It's like that on all the original 251 versions. I don't think I've seen it there in any actual photos of the real thing.
