Small Scale Military Headquarters

The custom work done on the 1/18 tanks by our board members is truely amazing. But for me, out of my price range. I thought we could explore the possible customizing of the standard 21stC hanomag and halftrack.
Does anyone have any possible configurations to present??

Next year I will do a series for the Hanomag.

Starting with my back dated version.

I know some Krylon paints similar to German camo... On the other hand, I will paint a Hanomag with vallejo paints for $5 more then what the Krylon paints would cost, $20 for some Tri color... That would just fix up the paint on it...

As for some easy mods.... Well, there are really not many mods for a 251 that would be easy other then adding a MG shield to a Stuka zu fuss or on the Pioneerwagen instead of the AT gun.

The wiki has a list of the 251 variants.

PH. you should make some addon kits for the 251s Like a stummel or something like that. Then they would be cheaper then a new hull. I would love a stummel!

I've always liked the 251/21 "Drilling"

I have been planning an sdkfz 251/17. With a bit of modification to the inside and the pedastal and gun you could build one.

I started to build a 251/9 stummel but it looked like JSI had one they were going to sell so I lost interest.

Very nice , the Hanomag is my favorite AFV, just waiting for pickelhaubs clam shell doors

Yea, A DAK Hano is needed!!!!!!!! Pair it up with Grunt1s Pak36!!! :3 <3

Unfortunately I have had to pass on a lot of pickel's work, but I just can't pass on the chance to make a DAK Hanomag.

Agreed. I love PHs work but my wallet does not...

Why is it a DAK hanomag?

Well the 251 Ausf A (?) was used in the desert also.

I built a tamiya 1/35 with the clam shell rear doors, it is too cool how they work, would love a set on the 1/18

Oh ok I see what you mean, but Pickelhaube's is an ausf C.

Smittydob, You were off to a great start on that 251 / 9 Stummel !! I wouldn't worry about jsi, I hope you finish yours.
Thats another variant of the 251 I'd like to try.

Thanks,
I've learned a lot in terms of scratchbuilding since then so I may take another crack at it sometime, right now too many other projects to finish.

I would love to see a kettenkrad

IR searchlight version 'uhu':

Both are relatively easy customs.
