Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hey Guys ,

Here a new topic to vote on.

I have been contact by several guys who want the 251 Hanomag with the Sdkfz type turret 251/23

It looks as a stop gap measure they did use original 222 turret on top of the.

This is good because that is done !!!

But as the war progressed they made a purposfull elongated turret.

The new turret had the same weapons system but it was elongated and the front and back were more streamlined omitting 2 of the facetts front and back.

What would you guys like ?

Original Sdkfz 222 turret






Purpase made elongated turret



The poll is for the guys who actually want this mod.

Hmmmm......

Not a lot of interest.

Perhaps the days of these types of mods have come and gone .

It has been a while since I have looked into this mod and I have forgotten some of he key facts of the SDKFZ 251/23 .

First it was a concept that was to use the turret of the SDKFZ 234/1 8 rad ( 8 wheel ) .




This may or may not have happened . There is no record proof or pictures.

So it could be said that there was a possibility that either turrets could have been used.

Depending on the availabilty of both turrets.

So , here in modern times the only turret available in 1 1/8th is my Sdkfz 222 turret .

So that is the one I will choose.

Unless there turns out to be a big demand for the 234 style turret.

The 222 turret would be best from what I have read that was the turret the prototype design had

what turret is the right one for the Sdkfz140-1 Aufklaerer-38T ??
This is my next custom Project.
If I ever get my case with all the kits inside

Well with minimum work and frozen fingers I mounted the 22 turret on the 251 .

As mods go once you build the turret it will mount on the 251 in a matter of minutes .

All you have to do is snip off the rails along the walls and the roof in.

$45 plus shipping.

Very nice Matthew! When your ready to take orders, 223 and these turret...let me know.
Great looking Kit!!!

I may look on ebay for a 251 ^^

I think I´ll take 2.
More crazy (kraut) custom ideas in the head

Would like to vote 2times for the Purposely made turret

OK Guys,

For those who want this now is the time.

I sold a BUNCH on ebay and things are winding down.

I need to finish this run and the 222 because I need to get back on the HIND !!

Please get your orders in now because it will be months before I get back to it.

$45 plus shipping.

Matthew,
do I need to order the 2 longer turret for the Sdkfz 251/23 in an offical way? If yes, please take this as an order.

Pickle,
What is the cost for one of these?
Razor

The turret and 251 roof plate sales for $45 plus $7 for shipping.

I am selling only the 222 turret at this time.

The longer version will be made after I get through all of the HIND kits.

Matthew,
the 22 turret is fine for me and my customizing projects.
I´ll take 2 of them but did not need the 251 roof plate.
Will send you a PM

Thanks
Sven

Matthew if you make it I'll order one.

Still working on the Pickelhaube 251/23 turret and not planned that its on the tan, green camo white 13 251...
great kit!



The elongated turret I made but Matthew does a better job!!!


The cannon, MG and seats are Pickelhaube made.

All kits are made packed and ready to ship.

All 251 turrets ,222 and 223 sales have been pulled off of e-bay and it is time to get back on the HIND .

I will keep my concrete barriers up on ebay because they are made from left over resin.

I got a little more done on the 251/23, the pic not the best but it gives an idea of how the turret looks
on the vehicle. Haven't put the cage on yet....

It takes on a whole other look with the turret.


Sharp looking camo .

Must have taken some time.

Great paint job!

This is the 21st 251 I used, I can't remember the series. Anyway its the white 13 with the white
Grossdeutschland Division marking on it and green dark yellow camo. I removed the 13 and the
white GD emblem and I added the red brown, green and dark yellow as needed.
